Most excellent performance
An orphan Fredric is hours away from being 21 years old. Soon his indentured to pirates (due to a misunderstanding) will end and he can then hunt the pirates down. In addition Fredric has just discovered what young women look like and had fallen for Mabel, daughter of the Major general. All of this is about to change.
I have always enjoyed the variations of "The Pirates of Penzance". Among my favorite is this Broadway theater archive from 1980. It was recorded at the New York Shakespeare Festival. The cover of my copy of the DVD looks like the standard cover of the series which is also the one on the VHS. It is distributed by Kultur.

You need to know that this film has all the strengths and weaknesses of a stage production vs. the Movie. The sound sometimes comes and goes and you have to listen closely to understand much of the singing. It helps to know what you are watching in advance. On the positive side I have always appreciated the minimal scenery of the stage and marvel at how so many can do so much with so little. This is an excellent film for those living in a culturally deprived area and to hold others until they can see the real thing again.

Just so you know this is not a movie. So many of the players push the envelope with their variation on the Gilbert & Sullivan theme and music. Speaking of music the stage surrounds the orchestra so you can watch them and occasionally the audience. Linda Ronstadt as Mabel has a surprisingly high voice at first and I assume is on purpose soon she settles down and you would thing that the play was made just for her. Kevin Kline adds the over the top energy needed to keep this fast passed play going. When all is said and done you will be exhausted from listening and laughing.

出来の良い観光ガイド
スコットランドの城を紹介するビデオの３本組、画像はビデオとしては良好、ナレーションも雰囲気が良く、地名の発音も正しくスコットランド風。内容は簡潔で城の内部と外部を映しながら簡単な解説を淡々と続けている。クールな分静かで、くつろぎながら見るのに適している。音楽も正しくスコットランド風だが、静かなものを選んで使っており、好印象。全体で３時間近く、スコットランドの有名な城を良く網羅している。価格から考えて、極めて良質な商品といえる。
