Title: Perfect Entrance Into the Satirical World of Gilbert and Sullivan
Product review: I am a long time fan of this movie. As a child of two musical buffs, I was brought up on fare like Oklahoma, Singin' In the Rain, and West Side Story....but the most memorable (and most loved) was always Kline and Lansbury's Pirates of Penzance (first viewed when I was 4). Its fanciful story containing the age-old literary facination with pirates is an immediate draw to youngsters, as are the bright costumes, joyful songs, comedic characters, and (for those who have seen 1960's Disney productions) the familiar and much-loved face of Angela Lansbury. The story has only gotten better as I've grown and been able to understand better and better the subtle nuances of G&S humour. While the trend is to shift to DVD, this movie is worth keeping your VCR for, especially if you have children or grandchildren!
