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, ra...

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.
