The film was a pet project of Ritchie's, having been a huge fan of the original stage production. The theatrical production traditionally is performed on a bare stage with two-piece musical accompaniment, while the film adaptation transposed the action to the farm country of the 1920s American West, affecting a look similar to Oklahoma!, and most of the songs were rearranged for a full orchestra. Additionally, the songs were performed live by the actors, rather than dubbed in afterwards, as is the usual practice with a musical film.
