Not as good as I hoped (maybe possibly due to having already seen the 50s remake, so nothing was a surprise) but it still has its moments. The jokes are definitely much better in this but I think I prefer it as a musical.

No amount of fancy capitalist propaganda could make me put on that stupid ass hat. (I wish Greta Garbo would act mildly rude and indifferent towards me too)
