Movie Reviews of The Shaw Collection (Pygmalion / The Millionairess / Arms and the Man / The Devil's Disciple / Mrs. Warren's Profession / Heartbreak House)
Movie Review: fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
These are movies with multiple camera angles and lush sets. The people speak with ordinary voices, not like those in a stage production.
There are twelve separate programs on the six DVDs. I am giving the five star because two of them are first rate, Pygmalion and The Millionairess. They stand the test of time unlike many other of his plays that satirize situations of 100+ years ago and no longer exist today. The others are from so-so to terrible. Shaw gets poorer as his story goes back in time and to other countries.
