i wasnt around for the movie when it came out, but i rented it when i saw all the focus on the play when radcliffe joined the cast a few years ago, and i was very disapointed in burtons performace. and in the film overall.
by the way, if anyones interested in a little gossip, i just heard from a source that i consider reliable (i work on broadway in a small capacity) that the "hair below" was actually an issue that came up durring preproduction, camp wanted shaved, sharrock wanted natural, r

you really think griffiths was miscast? i thought it was really good casting. i think his voice was perfect for the role.
as for your assesment of why anna shaves, thats a really good point, i never really thought of her as a "loose" type of girl though, to me she seems to be sexual but not a floosy. and as for the ability to see "whos hairy and whos not" i propbably wouldnt have taken too much notice, if a. it hadnt been so bright durring that scene that it was obvious, and b. if the rando

to be honest it was quite shocking because the lighting was so bright that it made it quite obvious that she was like totally totally bald. i dont understand why they didnt just omit the line in the script or give her a little wig. at first i thought well maybe shes blonde and im not seeing right, but some of the people up front said that shes full on shaved. did you all notice that to? i thought i might have seen wrong. lol

Yet another Equus review
Nov 25

Hello All,
I'm new here, so I hope its appropriate for me to make a new thread here.
I know a lot of people have reviewed Equus in the past but I just saw Equus on Broadway and my previous reference was the 1977 film adaptation. So I thought I would give my thoughts in the form of a comparison.
What they did better than the movie:
- Griffiths' Dysart is better than Burton's. Yes, I said it. He just is a better actor.
- I went into the play expecting to see Harry Pot
