Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1936)
I Have seen the remake by Tim Burton and the Broadway Musical, but the story line in this film is much different than the Musical or the Remake and I found this earlier original story line to be much more fitting and entertaining than the revised version's. Even though this was a 1930's film it has been digitally remastered and the quality of video and audio is rather good for a film of this era. All in All I loved this film, but I am a Classic movie buff. I also found this story line to have much more suspense than the remake as well. If you like Classic film's and the story of Sweeney Todd I really believe you will love this film! ~enjoy!~
Like "Little Shop of Horrors", this was made into a successful Broadway Musical and then remade as a film. Unlike the former original, this is actually worth watching for more than camp reasons. Apparently the current copy was modified for TV from its early film version, hence the less than optimal audio/visual quality.The acting and camera angles reflect the slow transition of film production away from the mold of stage productions and a beginning (however slight) of understanding of the subtleties that film can convey but the stage can't. One wonders if perhaps the actor in the title role was cast for the aptness of his name: Tod Slaughter as the slaughterous Todd. For me one of the nicest touches was the irony and symbolism of the Diabolical Sweeney Todd falling into the fiery pit of his own making.
Finished fine for me.Fun horror movie. Great intro and ending sequences. The actor who plays Todd is sufficiently creepy, and the plot moves fast. An aside: how does the young woman fit into the apprentice boy's clothes?Only drawback is there is some hissing and popping that you get with old films. Voices are always audible, but still feels distracting. Maybe they could experiment with some AI or audience filter. Still a very entertaining flick though.
