i have only praise for this film . from start to finish it capture the brilliance of stephen sondheim musical . i be not a big fan of musical most of them be very overdone . this one however change my mind . i be an actor myself and have actully play sweeney and i know how hard this role be . george hearn give a stunning and masterful and rounded performance worthy of the high award that we can give him ( he win an emmy and that something . ) everything he do he turn to gold . he be so good it will blow your mind why he not in film win oscar . lansbury be also very good and very funny . sara wood be creepy and wonderful a the beggar woman . all in all a great video . pick it up if you can .
