2.0 out of 5 stars Gilbert & Sullivan - the Pirates of Penzance [1983], 8 Jan 2007

By	Rev. S. Walker (Cannock, Staffs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having seen the film on TV I looked for a home DVD version. The title was right,the cast was correct so I was pleased to order and receive - looking forward to viewing it at Christmas at the family get-together. Disappointment! The quality was poor and although the cast performed well, all was not as it should be.On the front cover it lists the cast, in particular Angela Lansbury. Where was she? It was a joy to see Patrica Routledge perform as only she can perform, but the film I had seen was quite different and starred Angela Lansbury in this role. I would still like to get the 'proper' version but don't seem to be able to track it down.

2.0 out of 5 stars This is the Stage Play NOT the Movie, 7 Aug 2007

By	Cdzone Ltd - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a stage play of Pirates of Penzance featuring Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt, Rex Smith and Patricia Routledge recorded live at the Delacorte Theatre, in Central Park, which was produced by Joseph Papp for the Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival. It is NOT the movie which stars Angela Lansbury despite what the cover image shows - that is a printing error.

"Gilbert and Sullivan's raucous and comedic operatic tale of Frederic, a `slave to duty' pirate, and the lowly band of `orphaned' is captured in all its fun and glory in this never before release production of Pirates of Penzance. Recorded live at the Delacorte Theatre, in Central Park, which was produced by Joseph Papp for the Public Theatre/ New York Shakespeare Festival. Kevin Kline sparkles as the swashbuckling, campy and libidinous Pirate King. Linda Ronstadt, making her theatrical debut, sings her way as the lovely and virginal Mabel; and Rex Smith is Federic, the young pirate who is bound to serve the Pirate King until his 21st birthday, which is days away, but being born on February 29th, Federic is a long way off from being released. Complications arise when Federic falls in love with Mabel and the high-spirited antics ensue. George Rose, playing Mabel's father, is hilariously pompous as `the very model of a modern Major-General.' The original cast offers the best in this Gilbert and Sullivan romp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent despite technical standards, 9 May 2008

By	P. Gilmore (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Thia is a unique record of an outstanding theatrical performance. How can anyone complain about the lack of A. L. although a theatrical great she cannot hold a candle to the vastly underated Patricia Routledge!

Sound and picture quality very poor. I can't really complain to much as it was cheap. The price matched the quality.
