A review by sykobanana

Written by sykobanana on 2021-04-24

I imagine this was great for its time...a popular book that viewers would have read.

Its free to watch on youtube and summarises the epic into 15min using only wide shots.
Set design and costumes are solid and it would have been quite a spectacle to see, but many things happen off screen and if you dont know the story (and who should be where and doing what), this is very confusing.

Something to watch as a historical triviality.
