A train wreck in every regard.
TV style fake sets. Terrible acting. Bad special effects. Embarrassing, stagey direction. Actors who can't sing. For a musical, the first number doesn't come until 30 mins in. And it's not worth the wait. Just awful in every regard. No wonder it's barely been seen since.
Taylor is pathetic. The entire film, if you can call it that, is so bad it has to be seen to be believed. Unlike a train accident however, it's very easy to turn away. There's no redeeming qualities at all. It's a horrendous chore to sit through, like water torture. It couldn't have been worse if they tried.
And to think that 20th Century Fox dragged their feet on Star Wars, only signing the contract at the 11th hour while this piece of crud had tons of money thrown at it at the same time.
Not even rose colored nostalgia can hide the sheer horridness of it all.
I rate it a 2 rather than 1 for a few unexpected laughs at Taylor on display, taking it seriously when it's just abominable.
