Subject: RE: Beggar's Opera (John Gay)
i love the film of chorus of disaproval - the alan aykbourn play. set in Scarborough, about an amateur production of the beggars opera.

there is a scene where the the betrayed prunella scales looks across the footlights at jeremy irons and the song oh what pain it is to part is playing....tears my heart out every time.

a michael winner film. Scarborough looks dazzlingly beautiful.
