I just saw this on DVD, after seeing the film with Steve Martin, which I also thought was good, but this version is great. I am inspired to write my first comment for IMD after seeing this. Don't miss this. It had me in tears and laughing. So many truths about life, exposing what idiots we humans are, and what really makes life worth living.
It appears that Chicago (the musical) was also inspired by the trial sequence (absent in the movie version).
The whole story is better in this long format.
What a creative geniuses Potter was. The abrupt changes of movie format (people breaking out singing in voices not there own) has an effect that must be experienced.
The way it points out the hypocrisies re sex is great (one is tempted to say "we are past all that now", but are we?).
