Broadway Beat also has a video on this, too. It begins with the collage video that was available on the Tony site, followed by interviews with many people, some comparisons between the 1944 movie, and little bits and pieces of the musical. Then it ends with the credits and the same collage video, but to 'Brave Enough For Love' instead of 'Sweet Liberty'.
