Are the Puerto Ricans all played by Puerto Ricans? That’s about the only way I can imagine improving on the original, which was maybe the best film musical ever. It won ten Oscars.

If he wanted to remake a classic musical, how about Guys and Dolls? The best classic Broadway musical and the film version didn’t do it justice at all.

My only problem with remakes is that Hollywood has ran out of ideas. I’d rather a remake was never done on any movie.

it as a period piece and it looks quite good. I think its score is the best. Bernstein and Sondheim put together a score that has lived forever. The original cast in the broadway version had great singers. Much better than the movie.
