People trying to escape to a fantasy world where songs make up for the harsh reality they live in is a subject I find utterly appealing, even more if there is a lively, playful mastermind behind it to inject a good measure of black humour to the mix. Too bad Dennis Potter's amazing writing wasn't adapted to the silver screen by an equally sharp mind. But I pass things like that because I love the period and songs.

It's just ok. Willis' cinematography plus the Walken dance numbers are the reason to see this one.

This film shouldn't work--Ross's glossy big budget approach goes against Potter's homemade musical intent, and Potter's script is just a digest of his great miniseries--yet it somehow holds together.
