Subject: Great Movie
I loved the story when I read it. I've loved most of the films made of it (one exception was a comedy version with Richard Chamberlain, but that was fun in it's way as well) but this is absolutely the best version. The one with Stuart Granger and Deborah Kerr was great but this one is closer to the book and more realistic except for Paul Robeson's singing, which is great but unnecessary to the story.

You just can't beat the old films. Modern movies have no soul compared to them.

Subject: excellent and entertaining
this is really a gem of a movie, it looks like it was filmed on location and all the actors are accomplished, Paul Robeson looks like a king! Excellent choice for the character.

This movie could not be remade and done as well, even though many of the themes are contemporary.

Subject: Excellent movie
This movie is very well directed. The cast did an excellent work in thier perfomances. For those who like to go back in time through movies this is an excellent master piece.

The MPEG1 version suffered from video dropouts through out the entire movie. As another reviewer below mentions "green blocks" fill the screen when ever the video signal is missing.
I can't give it a rating since it was unwatchable.

I'll try the largest file size and see if that play better.

Subject: A Genuine Classic
This is by far and most,the best loved novel I
have read,I would highly recommend to read the novel and watch the movie. There has been modifications,but you ought to make it when u shrink it,into a 80 minutes.Looking forward for
Steven Spielberg to direct this movie!!!

Subject: Eh.
Very slow moving, long story, but not poorly acted. Too much singing. I bet this was an impressive film on the big screen in its' time.

Subject: Fine in MPEG1
An admirable transfer of a significant film. Robeson's singing is a distinct plus, but even without that, this would be arguably the best cinema version.

HOWEVER, the MPEG2 ends at 36 minutes (about 1.8 GB).
