Format:VHS Tape
This video version of the classic Dylan Thomas play for voices does not do the play complete justice. Richard Burton's first voice is one that will never been outperformed, a first rate performance. A majority of the performers didnt capture the essence needed for this beautiful collection of words. Its worth watching just to get a feel for this play, although live theatre/radio productions capture more of the feelings.

Format:VHS Tape|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found the video rather dry in comparison with the taped edition which is rather sad. Richard Burton did his best of not speaking a word but the taped version brought the whole thing to life and left the story much to the imagination, something the video leaves nothing of. If you are buying this video I would recomend that you first buy the tape or CD and then make your own mind up if you would like the video. I feel the video lacks the imaginaton that so many of us have and leaves the veiwer with nothing.
