The music is magnificent, and the dubbers used for many in the cast were some of the best singers in the business. The direction of the film, unfortunately, is rather static and labored, and Preminger isn't able to electrify the material in the same was he did with Carmen Jones. Still, I'd love...
I am pretty surprised Sony wouldn't want to release Picnic or Pal Joey itself, both big hits in their day, and films that still resonate decades after their initial releases. So, I guess there IS really just a small market for classic vault titles. For some reason, this really depresses me.
