comment and goof

First, my mini-review of the movie. I was not expecting much and was therefore pleasantly surprised. Yes, the plot is predictable and derivative, and there are too many anachronisms, particularly musically, but all the performances were quite good, the score and choreography terrific (and let me say here that I am a Caucasian granny who doesn't like rap), the direction and production design creative. Also, something I see far too rarely in movies -- the characters matured; they grew as the plot developed. This is not the two-dimensional movie I was expecting to see; it is "Chicago" with [a] soul (and I saw the original Broadway production of "Chicago" with Jerry Orbach, Gwen Verdon and Chita Rivera).

Alas, one of the more obvious goofs (spoiler alert!): Sally's tombstone is engraved (1914-1935) but Prohibition -- the era in which the movie is set -- ended in December 1933.
