The screenplay is not "fairly faithful" to the play. It adds voice overs, combines Herbie with a another character, and makes a hash of the June/Louise/Tulsa plot.
I think the fact that it changes so much of the musical's book for no discernible reason and in each case weakens the script--that would be enough to make the original author hate it. |
