Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 9/10 by Bosley CrowtherAlmost a quarter of a century after its initial performance on the stage (and seventeen years after the revival that really established it), this most haunting of American musical dramas has been transmitted on the screen in a way that does justice to its values and almost compensates for the long wait.
Film Threat - 4/10 by Phil HallRarely has a film been cast with so many gifted performers who are either wrong for their roles or are given nothing to do.
