excellent cast and superbly act and very well write and direct . i particularly love the performance of derek jacobi and sian phillips and brian bless . an excellent production by the bbc and a usual . a comment about the dvd set . the sound on the dvd be very unequalized . one minute you can barely hear the actor and the next you be be blow away by music and or or background noise . other than this annoyance and the dvd translation be excellent . also and look for some then less know actor and actress who be star now . i do not know how they pull this off and but i be very glad that they do . also and the dvd extra be interesting and include scene from the unfinished version from the 1930 or 1940 .
