This is such a beautiful movie...over the top costumes (like Kathy Bates falling out of her bodices). It was confusing but vastly entertaining. As for the mis-casting I was waiting for Harvey's New Yorkese to come out and DeNiro did not have the elegances of speech that was required for his role. Both are great actors but they were big fishes in a very different pond.
The music had the taste of the time and place.I loved the movie in-spite of the casting. The look of the movie was wonderful. The sets, costumes were outstanding. I am sorry that this movie did not do better. It deserves more attention.
