Title: Call Me Madam disappointing, but better than nothing.
Review: For years I've wanted a CD of the wonderful Call Me Madam musical. And, I've wanted to view the movie again, but it apparently isn't on VCR or cable. In the Tyne Daly CD, Daly sounds like she had been carousing for three days and nights, did a quick once-over runthrough with the orchestra, and recorded. She sounds tired, more laid-back than Peggy Lee, and disinterested in the entire production--perhaps because it wasn't a real show in the conventional sense, with sets, props, and costumes.The other vocalists are also singing by rote, totally devoid of emotion. And finally, the orchestra is very thin, almost like a band from a junior college drama department production. Aarrgh! But, it's better than nothing at all.
Is the review positive or negative?
