The Little Shop of Horrors is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The Little Shop of Horrors gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Seymour works in a skid row florist shop and is in love with his beautiful co-worker, Audrey. He creates a new plant that not only talks but cannot survive without human flesh and blood. The chemistry Jonathan Haze and Jackie Joseph bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It hit screens in 1960. The Little Shop of Horrors earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
