Moody Masterpiece
Marlow's play about the man who sold his soul to the devil for 27 years of pleasure is not the most cheerful of topics. But the horror element is well-played in this classy production with Burton as the title character and Liz Taylor as Helen of Troy, the "face that launched a thousand ships."
Mario Nascimbene's spooky score gives an appropriately dark mood to this great masterpiece of a story.
