Valdez, who adapted his play for the screen, keeps the story and the camera moving nicely.

Fotogramas
[Zoot Suit] is a holy mess of a movie, full of earnest, serious intentions and virtually no achievements.

The staging is busy and clever, though it doesn't translate that well to film, given Valdez's tendency to cut the legs off his dancers.

Rating: 2/5 --
Except for the spirited musical numbers and an arresting performance by Edward James Olmos as the cynical conscience of gang member Daniel Valdez, the movie largely fails to bring the impact it had on stage.
