Ian Douglas: If you want entertainment, this is it. I appreciate that the musical genre is not everyone's cup of tea, but this is not a traditional musical... although the musical numbers do interrupt the narrative constantly, they are used more to illustrate the point, while at the same time advancing the plot. Neither are they boring... the staging is outstanding, and, as one reviewer said, for a first-time film director, it's hard to see how he is ever going to top this production. The performances are uniformly good all round, with the exception of one number by Zeta-Jones, where she is not quite as graceful as she might have been.On the issue side, the film does a great job of exploring the morality of the press and public, and the effectiveness of the US jury system, and how lawyers manipulate it to evade the law. Great script, great production, don't miss it...
