| They should certainly have used more of the score, especially "Are You Sure?" and "Dolce Far Niente." | |

| It's a startlingly truncated score, so oddly dependent on reprising the same melodies. I personally think "Are You Sure" is one of Willson's finest numbers. It also deepens Molly at a point in the show when she's been rather one note. The Grimes recording of the song is just sublime. And it has a genuinely powerful spiritual component, again, that makes Molly more compelling. But this film settles for a lot of surface stuff that showcases a Reynolds not entirely comfortable with it. She feels so ... Burbank. Too bad. I wonder how Shirley MacLaine would've fared. She was the studio choice. |

| I thought the "He's my friend number was wonderful, especially fine ,& especially when Debbie did that wild Irish jig with Grover Dale and Gus Trikonis,... But I thought they could have squeezed in "My own Brass Bed, It's a short song, one of my favorites in the show. | |
