Evita/YMMV

Adaptation Displacement: Evita began as a 1976 concept album.
Americans Hate Tingle: The movie was expected to be very popular in Argentina, but it was received with protest and indignation about the heroine's portrayal. The Argentinian government even went to the point of commissioning their own biopic aptly titled Eva Perón: The True Story as a counter to the better known Madonna vehicle.
- Some think that the movie portrayed Evita in a more positive light than the original play—Madonna made Eva look more like a vulnerable, noble-hearted, altruistic woman who believed she was doing good (albeit simultaneously manipulative, hypocritical and enjoying her fame, money and power a little too much), instead of some social-climbing, power-hungry witch.
Awesome Music: "And the Money Kept Rolling In (and Out)"; "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" and the Ominous Spanish Chanting that follows.
Non Sequitur Scene: "Another Suitcase In Another Hall", a song sung by Juan Peron's just-ejected mistress, which serves seemingly no purpose in the play plot-wise.
- It's averted in the movie, as the song is given to Eva.
- From a technical perspective, though, it does serve a purpose by allowing the actress playing Eva to rest before one of the show's most demanding numbers, "A New Argentina."
Genius Bonus: The Latin chant section of the song "Oh What a Circus," takes its text from the real-life Roman Catholic prayer, the Salve Regina. The original prayer contains a reference to the Biblical Eve, known in Latin as Eva.
Narm Charm: "I want to be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires -- Big Apple!"
