ln 1741 London, notorious highwayman Capt. Macheath is in Newgate JaiI, due to hang at dawn. But rope colIars aren't the fashion for dashing, self-respecting ne'er-do-welIs. And prison doors can swing two ways.
As rakish Macheath, Laurence OIivier rides, robs, woos, dupes, quaffs and sings in a pleasing light baritone in The Beggar's Opera, an ale-and-hearty fiImization of John Gay's comic operetta. This ebulIient film does more than revive many of the ballads of Fay's enduring 1728 work; it also stunningly re-creates an era. Peter Brook (the stage legend in his fiIm directing debut) and his moviemaking team used the richly detailed painting of Restoration artist WilIiam Hogarth an inspiration for the movie's coIorfuI locaIes and IiveIy gaIIery of rogues, scoundrels and wenches. |
