A DEFINITE MUST SEE!
0 personnes sur 1 ont jugé cet avis utile. Most of the salient portions on this movie are covered in other reviews. I do wish some reviewers would desist from outlining the entire plot. Most definitely a spoiler for those who are not familiar with the details and who have not seen the movie. Enough said.
If you are looking for this DVD in the store, likely you won't find it but there are several available on ebay. My R2 version from the U.K. was a lot cheaper than the listed R1 versions, but a great buy at any price!
I have always been a great fan of Lord Dickie since I saw him play the part of a young punk in Brighton Rock. You might find this one on ebay in R2 format.
Richard and David Attenborough are two of my favorite people - with good reason!

Look to your laurels Andrew Lloyd Weber!!!!!

Yesterday, there were greats like Singin in the Rain. Voted the best musical ever made and with good reason. It has everything a great musical should have. My favourite was the Kelly and Donald O'Connor dance duo. Wow! That's Dancing! You just don't see dancing like that anymore. Shame!

STILL REMAINS THE BEST VERSION! A TRUE CLASSIC!
1 personnes sur 1 ont jugé cet avis utile. The Browning Version is a play by Terence Rattigan, first performed on September 8, 1948 at the Phoenix Theatre, London.
This is the original 1951 BW version starring Michael Redgrave who is superb as Crocker Harris and reputed to be his finest performance. There have been excellent remakes but in my opinion, this remains the finest and most prominent due to its stellar cast and Anthony Asquith's brilliant directing.
This DVD is released as part of the Criterion Collection. BUY IT!
