Sweet Charity (1969) coming to Blu from Kino (1 Viewer)

[Matt Hough]

Yep, Show Boat without question is a great musical. Deanna had some fine musicals, and Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan did their part for the B-unit. Except for those misguided dream ballets in Flower Drum Song (the serious one for "Love, Look Away" and the comic one for "Sunday"), I think the film improves on the stage version of Flower Drum Song with the placement and assignment of songs and the casting.

Looking forward to reading the comparative reviews of "Sweet Charity" from the Kino release versus the disc that's been long available in France. According the haineshisway, the French disc of "Irma La Douce" ranked better over Kino's; therefore a purchase of "Sweet Charity" is imminent, but from whom will all come down to the reviews. So, here's to hoping that Kino's 4K restoration can beat out the other BD; as it's also packaged with an essay from Julie Kirgo.
