THE MAIN EVENT.......2007-05-17

Energetic musical stage play chronicling the life of circus showman, P.T. Barnum, (Michael Crawford, who is quite adept at circus performance.) The big-top atmosphere is magnificant but the musical is bogged down heavily by an insistent plotline detailing Barnum's marital domestic trifle which adds little drama and only a bit of spice. It would seem Barnum's questionable and god-like exploitation of circus freaks lies at the heart of this superficial, action packed production, which is highlighted by genuine stunts and acrobatics. Filmed before a live audience in London, the extravagant cast call is well worth waiting for.

Barnum.......2007-01-11

A wonderful movie. Michael Crawford is superb in the role of Phineas Barnum, master of flim flam. It is a movie of a stage production, warts and all. Even the professionals make mistakes! It's amazing that Crawford did all the circus tricks himself - walking the tightrope being quite spectacular.
There are some terrific songs in the show - "One Brick at a Time" - is one of my favourites. The cast gives a real ensemble performance all of whom are excellent.

Barnum DVD.......2006-07-06

Michael Crawford--showing his evolution from "Something Funny" and "Hello" and before "Phantom"--"does everything"!!

Songs are veru catchy!.......2006-05-24

Michael Crawford is in this wonderful musical Barnum! He is really fun to watch! He makes me laugh all the time. This is my first Stage production of him in the title role. In 1987 he was in Phantom. Once again he is the title role. My favorite songs are:

Musem Song
Colors of my life
I like your style

Michael is the original Phantom and Barnum! Well done Michael

I "Guarantee" You'll Enjoy This Show, Really!!! :o).......2005-10-29

I have read many "5 Star" reviews on Amazon, I bought the CD or DVD or VHS, and found it to be "so-so"....maybe 3 1/2 stars. So, I am skeptical about Amazon reviews. But, in this case, the reviewers are "right on" when they praise this "Musical". And, this rendition stars a famous actor/singer, Michael Crawford. He is very good or even "excellent". You might want to buy it "used" but even at the "new" price, it is worth paying for... $30 is cheaper than one ticket to a show these days, correct!? You'll enjoy it, I "guarantee" it!.....:o) Email:boland7214@aol.

I am cobfirming there's a typo on the DVD cover. It's not 94 minutes, there's 3 hours here. Both parts are on the DVD, as Amazon has described. They're not separated out on the DVD menu, but rest assured that Part 2 follows right after the credits for Part 1. The movie itself is superb; well acted with incredible costuming and sets!

Excellent DVD ... stupid cover typo!.......2006-01-23

If you love A&E's Barnum special on video, this is it on DVD. Completely perfect and always a joy to watch.

Please be aware that - as another reviewer has pointed out - there's a typo on the DVD cover. It's not 94 minutes, there's 3 hours here. Both parts are on the DVD, as Amazon has described. They're not separated out on the DVD menu, but rest assured that Part 2 follows right after the credits for Part 1.

"The show must go on".......2005-04-08

P.T. Barnum, well worth the price of the admission ticket !
A fascinating and most of all historic glimpse into P. T. Barnum's life.
Played with heart plus a wonderful exhilarating energy, in later years by Beau Bridges.
Phineas Taylor Barnum may have very well been responsible for the creation
of the 'Rain Check' and 'Wealth Seminars' still widely used in today's society.
The made for television A & E ( Arts & Entertainment Network ) 2 part film deals equally
with his showmanship career and family life. Barnum's forever brooding, never satisfied wife
causes the viewer to wonder why he pursued her approval and the marriage did not dissolve.
The truthfulness or embellishment of her portrayed character in the film plays very well as the
reason Barnum was highly motivated and thrived on being successful.
The picture quality and stereo sound of the 1999 film and 2004 released Platinum DVD is very good to excellent.
Do not fear when Part 1 ends, Part 2 is on the DVD disc as well.
Total of approximately 3 hours, each part being 90 minutes.
The DVD information insert states incorrectly 90 minutes in length, which is each parts running time.

Feminism is a problematic word: to some it means the ongoing struggle for the equal rights of women; for others the connotations are derogatory, the word conjuring images of emasculating woman. And for still others, mostly the younger generation who grew up with mothers in the workforce, the term is outdated, referring to a movement whose relevance is diminishing. Postfeminism, antifeminism, the feminist backlash--these terms are wielded with little understanding of the context in which the feminist movement was born. Luckily, Ken Burns and Paul Barnes have created this superb documentary, Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, to remind us of the roots of the women's movement and to show just how far we have come in such a short period of time.

In the 19th century, Susan B. Anthony had few choices for her life: to live with a husband as "a doll or a drudge" (marry a poor man, she explains, and you spend your life doing housework as a drudge; marry a rich man, and you spend your life prettying yourself up and looking like a doll), to work as a schoolteacher, or to live with her family as an "old maid." And while she chose the life of the spinster to retain her independence, she didn't resign herself to a life of leisure. Born into a Quaker family devoted to abolition, Anthony championed the reform movement and dedicated herself to the suffragette life. In contrast, Elizabeth Cady Stanton married and had many children, yet this did not stop her from seeking the vote for women. A friendship with Lucretia Mott sparked a desire in this abolitionist to work for the cause of women, and Stanton and Anthony eventually teamed up to fire up the revolution of women in the United States.

This documentary, in the now-well-known Burns style--actors reading the works of Stanton and Anthony, archival footage and photos, commentary from historians--highlights not just the work of these women, but their friendship and their lives. Stanton and Anthony didn't live long enough to cast votes themselves, but their legacies and their struggles live today. Not for Ourselves Alone is a stunning testimonial to what's been accomplished and brings to life the two women to whom every female in the U.S. owes a tremendous debt. --Jenny Brown

"Wheat that was sown that others harvested!";"The women that made miracles!";the true unsung heroines of woman's suffrage ........2007-04-26

It would be totally inadequate for this reviewer to say that NOT FOR OURSELVES ALONE:The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony is simply a "must-see","well done","moving","dramatic","compelling"etc.etc. documentary of the two forgers of the early Woman's Suffrage Movement.This Ken and Paul Burns treatise has been so carefully,sensitively and lovingly handled,crafted and assembled that I was moved to anger,incredulity,sympathy,action and finally to just good ol'tears!
NOT FOR OURSELVES ALONE tells in vivid detail, based upon the enormous source material and writings and correspondence of the two amazing women of the 19th -century,Cady Stanton and Anthony, who almost in a battle alone, fought tirelessly for the equality and dignity and rights of all women to receive and exercise their rights as they saw guaranteed to them under the United States Constitution and The Decalration of Independence.These two pioneers maintained an endearing fifty year friendship,endured hardships,misunderstandings,trials,boos-and-jeers,and the sometime opposition of their own sex as well as the opposite sex AND race, and above all ,totally opposite lifesyles and temperaments in order to join faculties to push for what they themselves NEVER saw in their own lifetime...the 19th Amendment guaranteeing the woman's right to vote.Without these two women, much legislation that all of us now accept to be totally understood ,would never be in law today.The Burns Brothers have created an absolute masterpiece,running for 210 totally absorbing minutes minutely detailing how these two women met,how they were alike and unalike,and how their neverending faith and trust in each other and their common-held beliefs was the ultimate key for those women of the following generation to complete the task of gaining equal rights for all women.This is a very typical Burns format for his PBS documentaries complete with voiceovers,historian interviews,still tintypes.Where this particular documentary really succeeds above the other Burns' PBS features is the tender and deliciously sensitive narrative that has been scripted to tell Stanton and Anthony's story.This is a very absorbing piece of art that all peoples would greatly benefit from viewing.It is more than informational...it is life-giving.These were the women who "sowed winter wheat for others to harvest".They were "the women who worked miracles!"

Comprehensive Women's Suffrage Film.......2005-10-03

This three hour film covered everything you ever wanted to know about the suffrage movement. It was another excellent Ken Burns effort. I liked the way it was divided up into chapters. I'm teaching a women's history class and had a limited amount of time for a film (1 hour). So I was able to show their early life, twenty years later and the conclusion of the suffrage struggle by selecting certain chapters. I would highly recommend this film for any women's history buff.

A story lost to history.......2003-10-31

I'm a woman in a male-dominated field, engineering. But I always cringed at the "feminist" viewpoints and attitudes of some of my friends. I did my work and didn't really think about being the only female in class. All that changed when I saw this documentary.

For the first time, I understand what a woman's life was like back 150 years ago. I understand how much progress has been made, and how everything that I take for granted every day -- being able to choose my career, have a life separate from my husband, vote, own property -- was gotten only through the incredible struggle of women like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott. They faced mockery, disdain, insults, dismissal and a millenium of tradition at every step, but never stopped fighting. They fought not just for themselves, but for me and every generation of women that came after them.

The fact that I graduated from high school and college without knowing the story of these two great women is almost unforgivable.

Worth every cent.......2003-04-25

I saw this brilliant and beautiful documentary when it was aired on public television and while it has been readily available on VHS, I have been holding out for a DVD. Finally the long wait is over! The only thing that surprises me is that it wasn't offered on DVD earlier. This isn't just some angry feminist rant or emotional tirade against men--the suffragist movement is dealt with as the historical event it actually was, and this documentary goes in-depth with historical details, letters, photos, and even comments from very old women who were just young women when they voted in the first-ever election in which women could vote. After seeing this for the first time, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the unsung heroes and leaders of the suffragist movement, became one of my heroes, and I immediately sought out a copy of "The Woman's Bible". I have been returning to Amazon over and over, checking to see if this was on DVD yet, and it had gotten to the point where I didn't hold out much hope that I would find it. I can't begin to describe how excited I am over this!

One of the top 5 best video documentaries I've ever seen..........2000-11-03

And I've seen a LOT of video documentaries!

I always thought of myself as somewhat well-informed on the topic of American History, but I knew virtually nothing about these two incredible women.

Their friendship, the beautiful blending of their unique gifts to create one stupendous and powerful whole of a suffrage movement, their dedication and devotion - all these elements combined to make this story perfectly wonderful.

I borrowed the video from our local library, but I think I need to buy it. I've watched it twice and wept tears of joy and gratitude at these womens' sacrifice and unselfish labors for all womankind. It is a delight to watch.

I just had no idea women had to fight so hard and so long to be granted a basic human right like voting.

And Elizabeth's "best" lecture, "The Solitude of Self" was one of the most powerful essays I've ever heard. Very stirring and inspiring. Even the [background] music was superior.

Andy Griffith and John Houseman star in this excellent adaptation of Luigi Pirandello's benchmark play. Six Characters in Search of an Author is about a family of unfinished characters who take over the rehearsal of another work in order to have their own story told. For this made-for-television production, director Stacy Keach wisely moved the action to a television studio, though otherwise the plot remains the same. Pirandello's playful opening moments soon give way to the horror of the story the characters have to tell. Though the characters fight to have their scenes played out at last, they are often at cross-purposes, unhappy with the actors' interpretations and arguing over who is at fault in their tragedy. Beverly Todd gives a fantastic, electric performance as the Stepdaughter, but it is Andy Griffith who gives the most surprising turn. Griffith deliberately uses his well-known amiable television persona, then reveals it as a mask that hides a menacing man within. You would be hard-pressed to find a better adaptation of this classic play. --Ali Davis

Customer Reviews:

Good intentions do not a masterpiece make..........2005-09-17

Admittedly, there is some degree of interest in this production, which is supplied most obviously by Beverly Todd, the standout performer here, as the Stepdaughter. Watching her is, to be honest, a big relief. She's basically the only actor who gives her character some real fire or juice, or whatever one calls it.

Andy Griffith's character, the Father, who's the male lead in the production (not the play within the play, but the play itself), tries very very hard to be charming and charismatic and all that kind of thing, but he is clearly miscast. His hamminess is just too much to take and absolutely does not fit with his numerous ramblings in which he defends his own base actions. It just doesn't work; it's dated and makes the viewer cringe.

John Houseman as the Director plays John Houseman. Nothing new there. James Keach as the Son is James Keach. The dialogue, as is true in the penultimate scene in the Kubrick film "Eyes Wide Shut"--between Cruise and Sidney Pollack--is taken directly from the original work on which the play/film was based (in the case of the Kubrick film, Scnitzler's "Dream Story", written in the early 20th century), and is often stilted and wooden. When this is combined with actors who are not fluid (e.g., James Keach), the result borders on mind-numbing. For Six Characters, the original was written in 1918. In order to express dialogue that is this stiff, the production must have truly compelling actors, and aside from Ms. Todd, they're just not in evidence.

That being said, Julie Adams is fine in a limited role as the Mother. She does not have much to do, but she does do it well. The two stars are also for the concept of the production which is cleverly adapted by Paul Mayer, setting the action in a television studio in which the six characters appear through an electronic glitch on the studio's view monitors. This was a very good start. As well, the initial presence and presentation of the characters was interesting; the viewer is caught up in the obvious puzzle of what they are doing there.

However, the combination of repeated over the top babble by Griffith, wooden dialogue, and only fair acting (barring noted exceptions) render this production far less than it could and should have been.

It would be interesting to see this redone today with a different cast. Personal choices for casting, given the unique nature of the play, would include David Warner as the Father, James Spader as the Son, Meryl Streep as the Mother, Jasmine Guy as the Stepdaughter, and Michael Caine as the Director.

Six Characters .......2005-07-08

If the internet speaketh truth, Luigi Pirandello, the Nobel Prize winning (`for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art') was either the father, the godfather, or the midwife of absurdist theater. His play `Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore' (1921) is here adapted by Paul Avila Mayer as SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR.
SIX CHARACTERS is a tele-play from 1976, directed by Stacy Keach and starring Andy Griffith and John Houseman. In this manifestation it's about six characters who suddenly appear on the studio set of a television series, six characters with a story to tell and in need of an audience. The internet tells me it's a brilliant exploration of creativity, of the relationship between the creator and his creations that boldly questions whether a fictional character is more `real', and more immortal, than a real person could ever hope to be.
Great Thoughts that should lead to Great Reflection. Why, then, after one of The Father's (Andy Griffith) interminable philosophical ramblings was I thinking - I wonder what Ang was doing after The Andy Griffith Show and before Matlock? Was Houseman still doing Paper Chase when he made this one? How many times has Stacy collaborated with brother James Keach (The Son) on the same movie?
SIX CHARACTERS may be a landmark in the history of absurdist theater, but it plays like a Twilight Zone episode with an undeveloped, although promising, opening premise. In a word it's terribly boring, and is probably best suited for those with either a background or a burning interest in the theater. The acting was fine, director Keach blocks out the action deftly and coherently, but the story itself was about as interesting as watching concrete dry.

Exploring the various levels of illusion and reality.......2004-09-10

Luigi Pirandello's 1921 play "Six Characters in Search of an Author" ("Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore") has the deserved reputation of being the first existentialist drama and having a profound effect on later playwrights, especially those practitioners of the Theater of the Absurd such as Samuel Beckett ("Waiting for Godot"), Eugene Ionesco ("Rhinoceros"), and Jean Genet ("The Maids"). This 1976 production preserved as part of the Broadway Theater Archive series is directed by Stacy Keach and adapted by Paul Avila Mayer, who updates the work to be set in a television studio instead of a theater.

A show is being videotaped when it is interrupted by the sudden appearance of six people. The man whom we come to call simply the father (Andy Griffith) informs the television director (John Houseman) that he has an unfinished drama that needs to be performed and they only need an author to complete it. The father insists that they are not real people but characters, and the director and his cast can only laugh at the idea. But then they become intrigued by the bits and pieces of the story the six characters have to tell.

The father was once married to a peasant woman and had a son by her, but forced her to leave and live with another man. From afar he has watched her new family grow up. The widowed mother (Julie Adams) is a very emotional woman who has just lost her lover and is the only one of the six who appears to be unaware that she is only a character. The outspoken step-daughter (Beverly Todd), who was almost seduced by the father while working as a prostitute, is anxious to play out the scenes so that she can humiliate the father. The son (James Keach), an aloof young man who hates his mother for having abandoned him as a child, wants to leave the studio but finds he cannot go until his scene is finally played out. The boy (H.B. Barnum III) says nothing, because he will die by shooting himself at the end of the play. The child (Claire Touchstone) is also silent because she dies at the end in a fountain.

Almost all of the characters in the play are known by their roles rather than their names, such as the Leading Man (Laurence Hugo) and the Second Female Lead (Irene Robinson). One of the few characters in the drama who has a name is Madame Pace, who is in charge of the dress shop that also serves as a brothel where the step-daughter works. It is perhaps this formality that serves to distance us from the production more than the strangeness of the action or the aged of the words, even though they are adapted to the modern ear. Griffith does a good job, but it is hard to look at the actor and not think that there is a twinkle in the eyes and a smile just behind the lips (my fault, not his probably). Keach as the son and Todd as the daughter bring the most passion to their roles, but Houseman is the one who holds the entire thing together, giving credence to the idea that there is a story here to be told. But the ultimate point is that the tradition of reality in the theater no longer holds true.

The radical idea here is that there is an immutability of reality for these six characters. Because they are forms, forced into performing the actions for which they were imagined, there is an inherent conflict with life. This is why the son wants to escape but cannot leave the studio and must play his role, as must the Mother and the rest of the characters. This is just as true of all the other characters besides the six, although the others are less inclined to see the truth, or at least the reality, of their own situation until the end, when the final scene of the drama seeks to dissolve the "stage" reality completely. Where Pirandello succeeds in the end is in having it both ways, for we can interpret what we have seen as being reality or as being acting. Either way, you are left to the same conclusion.

Pirandello's masterpiece does well as a Television Drama.......2004-04-17

This was a famous (and somewhat erudite) stage play meant for 1920's audiences that was a landmark work from the "Theatre of The Absurd". This DVD presents a very unusual but great version of this play, changing the situation from a stage to a Hollywood Television studio where actors are gathered to perform a rehersal. Suddenly the professionals are interrupted by six characters who claim that they are part of a work of an author who never completed their story and are seeking to have their much more interesting drama performed. (We never know whether they really exist at all) The director, (John Houseman) listens to a very convincing arguement from "The Father" (Andy Griffith)who presents his case as to why their "play" must be done and incredibly they dominate the action from this point. There are some real surprises here! Good direction by Stacey Keach. An appearance by his son James Keach as "The Son". A unique turn in making part of the drama involve interracial romance (a major step in 1976) and perhaps the biggest stunner of all, Andy Griffith as "The Father" proves that he is more than just a simple country bumpkin sheriff in a departure from his usual nice guy roles. Of course everyone gives away the era in which this was made in dress and hairstyles (1976) but it is still an unusual and intelligent adaptation of the classic absurdist play that is worth your time and investment.
