when this movie sings, it belts, but is held back a bit by a simplified ending that diminishes the commitment and diligence put in by our leading lady. fantastic use of shadows, and loved the hands. fav part was elisha cook jr. going absurdly hard on the drums - can sometimes be an annoying stickler for inaccurate playing of instruments on screen, but his face made up for it all
