    So if you know anything about the history of the rise of Perón in Argentina, and/or have seen the excellent theatrical performance of Rice and Lloyd Webber's "Evita" then you will already have the basis for this really rather poor big screen adaptation of both. Madonna is not much of an actress and though her voice manages the songs well enough, her on-screen persona here just falls flat. She is not helped much by a poorly cast Jonathan Pryce as her president - and frankly rather insipid - husband and by the terribly wooden Jimmy Nail as journeyman singer "Magaldi". Perhaps only Antonio Bandera...
