Watched now b/c I was pulling operas off my dvr for burning to dvd, and this was a candidate too.
No songs listed in the Soundtracks, but at least 2 more and 1 fewer than the '65 film.
Many songs were used in different contexts than in the film, but made perfect sense either way.
Although this is not a stage performance, all the sets are clearly within the confines of a studio.
I don't think I'll burn a dvd of this. It has nothing done better than the film, and my heart belongs to Julie Andrews. I must admit, KT's speaking voice is much like JA's, and she can hit great notes, but the advantage of retakes, outdoor locations, and JA's warmth all make that an all-round superior performance.
Rated 7.2 (316)
