I totally agree. Movies are supposed to be about the spectacle. Plays are limited in budget and SFX. Movies can fill in the SFX needs due to outrageous budgets.

Why make a movie version of a play if you're not going to at least fill in the SFX blanks? Why do it? Seems like waste of time and talent

If you had told me this was a live production I wouldn't have doubted it very much.

Why do you all keep referring to the stage production of ITW as a "play"? It's a musical. Sondheim doesn't write plays. He is a composer and lyricist of musicals.

Then "Goodfellas" was a damn good TV show. "Death of a Salesman" was a fine musical.

That's not an apt comparison.

Please don't be the play versus musical nazi guy. Those guys tend to be slightly...
