Very few classics make it to the big screen with the same penmanship that made them classics in the first place. Glenn Jordan and John Gays sure does! Superb acting on the part every actor and actress. I just watched it for the first time in twenty years and I'm amazed at how well it was really done. Tony Perkins gives one of his very best performances. Very realistic in every way. Too bad this picture had a very limited release(TV). If this classic is still required reading then this picture should surely be required 'watching'. Good ole Victor Hugo would be quite proud of it I'm sure...............
