25 songs in the Soundtracks; estimated average publication date of these songs is 1930.
Cute film, not great.
2 standout dance numbers: the Groucho ball and the rivershore wire dance (see poster; GH gets pulled and lifted a lot by invisible wires).
Edward Norton, the young romantic interest for Drew Barrymore, was a good replica of young WA, without the glasses and poor posture. But his speech pattern seemed to imitate WA.
Everyone seemed to sing their own songs, but that's not reflected much in the Soundtracks. If they didn't, the dubbers definitely sang "down" to the amateur level.
Good to have this to see what passes for a casual musical in '96.
Rated 6.8 (33,025)
