A superb performance July 22, 2004

Mixed with outside scenes and studio sets this version has some charming performances, most notably from Olivier and Tutin on the cusp of a real life affair. The music is excellent, paced and lively at the correct moments. The acting is a joy. The thin baritone of Olivier does not do the score justice, but he embues it with enough heart felt pathos so that his vocal shortcomings can be easily overlooked. The rest mime their way through admirably and the vocal responsibilities are unsurpassed in any rendition I have yet heard.
The dark gravitas of the final hanging scene is truely moving, as the inevitable reprieve is sprung.
