Another straight-to-video adaptation of a recent stage musical success with Trevor Nunn re-directing his acclaimed National Theatre Company. This revival of the classic American musical won accolades for its renewal of many serious themes often overshadowed by the comedy or romance, a process repeated for this video adaptation. The cast are uniformly excellent, creating a real sense of a community on the verge of a new frontier in American history. Featuring rising star Hugh Jackman as Curly, and veteran star Maureen Lipman as the feisty Aunt Eller. The real discovery, however, is Shuler Hensley as Jud Fry. His performance is both dangerous and pathetic, symbolic of the danger and darkness that Nunn has successfully prised from beneath the musicals seemingly pristine surface. Worth viewing for this spin on a familiar tale. RT. < less
