All the above comments explain a lot. The heavy reliance on improvisation and allowing Lisa Minnelli to get away with shoddy acting. She did say in an interview that, if they had more time, they would have had the scriptwriters put something together from the improvised takes. I guess they had better things to do with their time - and the movie suffered as a result.
De Niro was absolutely brilliant though. It would have been difficult to find a descent actress who could play the love/hate role.
Must give Scorsese some credit, I suppose, for presenting the dilemma that Liza's character found herself in at the very end.
