this movie has many of the shortcomings of the 1957 remake...the script is weak and the acting is lacking...but unlike 'an affair to remember', there is much to redeem this movie...
first, the music gives it a definite shot in the arm...second, there is the scenery which appears to be shot on location and is strikingly beautiful in some cases..third, there is Katherine Hepburn who is masterful in a very brief appearance...fourth, the comedy works...Shandling and Ramis are great additions, and Beatty plays the his role with humorous undertones throughout the movie...finally, Benning is cute, beautiful, and elegant...
for me, there is no comparison between this and other versions..this is head and shoulders about the rest...
