BET YOU DIDN'T CARE:

In the late 1970's a remake of the 1939 classic was proposed to star Jane Fonda, Barbra Streisand, and Faye Dunaway, but it was not made.

This film was a failure from the start.  In an attempt for "equality", the director decided to make all characters in the movie female.  And I mean ALL.  That is, every extra, sub character and main character, EVERYONE.  This isn't exactly equality, but the complete opposite.  But, that is far from the only reason that this movie fails as it completely falters on every level.

QUALITY:
Good.  The BD features great picture quality but the sound falls short, grumbling and getting static-y at the low levels.

BONUS FEATURES:
Featurettes, Deleted Scenes

The movie is one large gimmick wrapped around a shoddy storyline, subpar acting and bad direction.  While the movie has nothing to save it from the impending train wreck, the DVD itself also gives no aid.  Pointless featurettes and rightly deleted scenes, the only saving grace of this release is the decent picture quality.
