Better than the 1949 version - more interesting with black actors and the overall quality of performance is stronger. Eartha Kitt has charisma and Sammy Davis Jnr is excellent as is Rex Ingram. It still isn't much of a play.
There's a little dancing and singing and you wish it had been a proper musical - less dialogue, characters expressing themselves through song. Still stagey, not that well directed.
