Movie (1953)
Adaptation of John Gay's popular opera about a highwayman who is imprisoned and sentenced to death for his crimes, only to find his muse and begin turning his various exploits into musical entertainment. An entertaining and fascinating curio which manages to retain much of the charm of the stage play, starring Laurence Olivier - in fine voice in the lead - alongside Stanley Holloway, Dorothy Tutin and George Devine
