Regardless of which ending one prefers, certain elements of Oz's film have become the version of Little Shop of Horrors, even for diehard theater fans like me, who enjoy seeing such protean works reimagined and explored anew. It will be a long time, if ever, before anyone manages to top Steve Martin's portrayal of the sadistic Orin Scrivello, or even drown out Martin's rendition of the song "Dentist". Ellen Greene's Audrey will be always be the definitive version, especially for anyone who saw her do it live (the lady didn't need the help of studio technicians to belt out those big notes). And Bill Murray's memorable dental patient, who wasn't even in the stage version but was added back from the Roger Corman movie, gives Oz's film the unique electric charge that has filmmakers still chasing after the notoriously reclusive Murray to appear in their films even today. Murray's loopy Arthur Denton is just another reminder that on Skid Row you never know what you're messin' with. Highly recommended.
