It was no surprise to learn that Robert Altman's
The Gingerbread Man was plagued by production problems. The movie has all the hallmarks of something that's been tormented by competing creative visions. You don't just get the kind of clumsy editing or erratic tone in
Gingerbread Man in just any movie. It could only come out of producers & directors having wildly different visions for how a motion picture should be. Of course, you don't have to know about its behind-the-scenes struggles to know
Gingerbread Man is messy. Its journey to the big screen could have been smooth as butter and
Gingerbread Man would still be a poor movie.
