The stars were perfect. And I think THE GOODBYE GIRL is one instance where the book is let down by the score, when usually it's the other way around. I found most of Hamlisch's music very generic, as were Zippel's lyrics. The latter were a particularly disappointing follow-up to his solid work on CITY OF ANGELS. The song titles were very bald too--if for some reason you didn't know how the story was going to turn out, all you had to do was look ahead in the program and see that the last two songs were called "Jump for Joy" and "What a Guy".
And that Richard III song--ugh. |
