Viewing Notes

Total library grab when I was looking for another title. Looked interesting and it is but not really my thing. This is an adaptation of Dylan Thomas’ play about a spring day in Wales in one village. Loosely connected characters and musical numbers with bits of dry comedy and drama. Mostly worth viewing for the cast but even the big stars aren’t given much screen time.
