    Note that this is a play, not a movie, so if you're looking for a film, this isn't. Because this production was filmed at the beginning of the '80s, the film and sound quality are good, but they're not great.

    This has been called Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece, and I wouldn't disagree. For musicality, however, I'll take A Little Night Music, or even his integral part in West Side Story as evidence of his better work. There is nothing you'll hear here that you'll come away wanting to whistle or hum, I assure you.

    I know it's difficult to actually read the credits, but this is not the 2007 Depp/Burton version.

    This is another Sweeney Todd, not the Johnny Deep version. Just saying, so people are making that mistake.
