As I've rewatched it I find myself liking it much better than others, even 1939 where Patinkin draws many parallels from throughout. It's not eye candy nor does it have anything that necessarily "stands out" but that's fine. The flogging is very powerful ("She gave me water!") and personally I believe this is better than 39. The characters are much more into their roles compared to the book. It also takes in the issue of printing from the book and put it into the plot and had it work. It may take a couple rewatches to like it but it's worth it. A very good adaptation.
