I've always had a problem with this movie too. In fact I don't think I've ever seen it completely from start to finish. I usually watch it while channel surfing yet from what I've seen I've never had the desire to tivo it much less purchase it. I also was sorry Betty Grable opted out as Adelade at the last minute. Granted it was Vivian Blaine's role yet I still would have preferred a different actresses take on the role(unfortunately I saw Blaine recreate her signature role in a stock production when she was way way past her prime). The sets seem surreal to me too in an unattractive way. As far as Brando as Sky, I would have given the role to Sinatra instead. Something's just off to me in this movie. It just seems to ramble on...much like my post...lol.

Not to mention the fact that they cut both Hot Box songs from the stage musical and replaced them with two far inferior songs. This is one movie musical I would not mind seeing redone. I've always disliked it. It's one of my favorite shows and it deserves a movie that does a better job of living up to its greatness.

I've heard talk of a remake with John C. Reilly as Nicely Nicely (good choice IMO) and *gasp* Vin Diesel as Sky. I think the latter was a joke though.
