Review title: Not So Great
Product review: This started out as a musical and was probably doomed from its inception, considering the cast consists entirely of people who can't sing a note. Somewhere along the way the songs were cut, perhaps mercifully, leaving one of the deadest, dreariest screenplays ever written. Director Joseph Hardy's claim to fame was the off-Broadway musical "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown," making him not the ideal choice to direct a rich and subtle period piece, with or without the singing and dancing. 30-ish (40-ish?) Sarah Miles is miles too old to play Estella as a girl, but she does so anyway to no good purpose, and the rest of the cast is predictable in a way that makes everything tiresome. Who wants to see Michael York as yet another Victorian Englishman? Who wants to see Margaret Leighton struggle with the role of Miss Haversham? This is just another one of those sad, wasteful ventures involving money and talent that should have been put to better use.
