On the silver screen " "Into the Woods" " Los Angeles movie review
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Tony award-winning musical comes to the screen in a lavish and beautifully mounted version.   Sondheim purists always wince when a film adaptation of one of his musicals is planned, mainly due to the disastrous reception A Little Night Music (1977), featuring an unfortunately-cast Elizabeth Taylor, received upon its release.
