Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating :  - Top Choice for Addicts
If you love American musicals this is for you, a wonderful selection with an all star cast.To see these perfomances again is a revelation. Some , like "Guys and Dolls" have dated a bit, slower than we are used to today, but still great performance from all the cast and the music is wonderful.
"Westside Story" is outstanding. The opening sequence alone is worth the price of the set. "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" has lost little of its charm, and what amazing long legs Dick Van Dyck has which are put to good use.
"Fiddler" is a superb show on all counts and Norman Jewison's translation to film was an amazing achievement, lifting it off the stage into a natural environment. Topal is the definitive Tevye.
Zero Mostel, the original Tevye, comes into his own in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" which is not the strongest of shows. However it is well worth watching for the wonderful use of colour in the sets and particularly the costumes. This group of DVDs is a real bargain offering hours of pleasure. + See Full Customer Review |  |
