That's going to be the problem - people will probably be expecting a Liza (or a Sinatra?) to deliver the title song. Even if they haven't seen the movie, they know she was in it and sang that song (and the others).

Why didn't the simply come up with a new title, for god's sake, so that the comparison to the film would be at a minimum to begin with?

Because the title, of course--and especially the famous song that goes with it--is what is expected to sell the tickets.
