    4/5 Excellent to watch, but at best FAIR to GOOD as a teaching tool
      by Marc Pollitt (California)
    This is a WONDERFUL production, well acted and interestingly staged, using modern costuming. McKellan and Dench are in fine form, both as malevolent as they need to be.

    As a teacher, however, I found this DVD to be a major disappointment, because for some silly reason the publisher did not bother to offer subtitles (which are immensely valuable to aid students' comprehension of a fairly difficult text).

    3/5 Mushy sound - needs subtitles...
      by Roglio (Emeryville, CA United States)
    I was disappointed... the films of live plays are visually flat, and the sound was mushy, and I really wished there were subtitles. In my opinion, the BBC productions are much better.
