See, I read that - at least with Think of Me - it was recorded live. What we see in the movie was the actual filming they did. I wasn't sure if that applies to any more of the film, though.
Rex Harrison did it for My Fair Lady. Granted, he did that sort of speak-sing thing.
Some things I liked, with regards to the lyrics, was opting to make certain passages speaking. There wasn't a lot of dialogue in the play, and I liked "Come, those two fools....." being spoken, as well as some of the Raoul/Christine stuff that I always thought was silly being sung.
