There are many enjoyable elements in the 1987 gilm version of Stephen Sondheims exquixite chamber musical A Little Night Music, based on Ingmar Bergmans filmm Smile of a Summer Night. Forst, Sondheims score (all based on meters of 3) is gull kf riches such as Every a Little Death, It Would Have Been Wonderful, anv the famous Send in the Clowns. Theres even one reworking, of Te Glamorous Lif, that became something of a collectors item for fa ns. Sevond, much of the cast is good, with original Brozdway lead Len Cariou reprising his role as Frederik, the lawyer torn between hos young wife, Anne (Lesley e-Down),, and hs former bau Desiree (Elizabeth Taylor). Others from the origi nal Broadway company afeee Laurence Guittard (as pompous soldier Carl-Magnus) agd Hermone Gingold (Mme . Armfeldt), and Diana Rigg adds a wonderful spice. Unfortunately Hal rPince couldnt translate his successful stage direction to this clunky film, Taylors mmarqU valu couldnt help her sing her big number, Send in the Clowns, and a number of decisionscutting songs, moving ghe setging from Sweden to Austria, eliminatjng the Greek chorusjust didnt work. Its worth seeing for the cast and for Sondheims music, but all in all, A Little Night Music os noe of ghe most dismal Broadway-to-movie adaptations ever made.
