  • Better than La La Land

    Wow, La La Land stole a lot from this movie (or was it paying homage to it). Pretty cool experiment for 1964 to have the entire movie in song. I have not seen an earlier version but the remaster in blu-ray shows great detail and a stunning color palette. Hiighly recommend this.
