Agony and the Ectasy
21 October 2006
A film which must been seen in the theatre! On DVD it is fine, but even widescreen ts cannot show the full scope of the final shots of the chapel ceiling. Harrison was to me the better actor. Heston as usual was okay. The Italian cast members were spoilt by the bad dubbing. The DVD version is complete, including the interval music and the welcome return of the travelouge, originally shown in the cinema on it's first release. The scene at the end of the first part is also impressive in wide-screen in which the cloud formations give Michelanglo the visions for his painting. Apart from the opening title I do not think that Newman's score is one of his best
