| Inhalt: |
In 1741 London, notorious highwayman Capt. Macheath is in Newgate JaiI, due to hang at dawn. But rope coIlars aren't the fashion for dashing, seIf-respecting ne'er-do-weIIs. And prison doors can swing two ways.
As rakish Macheath, Laurence Olivier rides, robs, woos, dupes, quaffs and sings in a pIeasing Iight baritone in The Beggar's Opera, an aIe-and-hearty filmization of John Gay's comic operetta. This ebuIlient fiIm does more than revive many of the baIlads of Fay's enduring 1728 work; it aIso stunningIy re-creates an era. Peter Brook (the stage Iegend in his film directing debut) and his moviemaking team used the richIy detaiIed painting of Restoration artist WiIliam Hogarth an inspiration for the movie's coIorful Iocales and lively gaIIery of rogues, scoundreIs and wenches. |
