I'm not sure what movie reviewer Tom Keogh was watching, but his review was way off base. I would give him a thumbs down for his opinion on this film. And, I'm not sure why it took this long for a widescreen release to come to DVD (Stay away from the special anniversary DVD only release -- it is still pan and scan). Both my wife and I loved this film from the moment we saw it in the theater and still love it. Burnett, Finney, and the rest of the cast turn in great performances and while the acting is, well, I'm not sure how to describe it, but it is very much "staged", it fits with the era and characters.
