messiah from scratch given hollywood treatment

A Customer from SE, 18th June, 2005

watchable film in which divorcee Michael Learned joins local choir to put on performance of Messiah, under guidance and direction of choir master, John Houseman......rather dull as everything that you think might turn this story into something more interesting, fizzles out. Houseman and Learned the same as they always are.

Technical quality detracts

AlisClair from , 23rd September, 2009

Technical quality detracts from an average film. The video/audio transfer on my disc was like a 60s home video...dread to think what it would look like on a 4ft screen! The story was of interest insofar as I like choirs and the Messiah (the acting was Houseman and the others) and I stuck with it right through for that reason..but oh, the reproduction was a strain.

Awful

A Customer from Battle, England, 7th November, 2006

Don't let the word 'Christmas' fool you. This is the worst film I've ever seen and that's saying a lot!
