Watched online, blurry.

About 5.5 weeks ago I watched the film A Little Night Music (1977), 6, and found this production to watch.

Back then I said I liked the songs better than the story and the casting. Oddly, with better singers, I like the songs less. Not that I like the story or the casting here. I just don't like the whole thing. I got impatient for it to be done. '77 was only 2h; this is 3, although the intermission was filled with interviews (this as Live from Lincoln Center).
