Laurence Olivier and John Hurt screaming in the middle of a storm is good stuff. Video/soundstage production is not-so-good stuff. Similarly, trying to watch this after a hot day in the sun. . .a recipe for dozing off. But I saw all the important scenes. I don’t want to blaspheme, but I think I prefer the Ian Holm version shown on PBS from a few years back.
