CGiii Comment
It's a musical and it's got Madonna in it - is that not enough to make it CGiii?
Madonna pulls it off, she won the Golden Globe...but, Oscar ignored the role she was born to play.
Still...impressive.

High-flying, adored! The film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical depicting the infamous real-life story of Eva "Evita" Duarte de Peron, the wife of President Juan Peron, who rose from poverty to become the most famous Argentine woman in history. Her huge political influence and constant charity works earned her scorn and fear from the military and upper classes but adoration and love from the workers and descamisados. Evita's legendary life is displayed before your eyes as the most hated and most beloved woman in Argentina.
