The film I have mixed feelings about having watched it around the same time, but loved Peter Firth and watched everything else he was in over the ensuing two years, and so when Spooks came around I was all up for it. I didn't get my hands on it until 2004 but have been a steafast fan ever since. I just don't like Burton very much, and am not entirely a fan of how the film was shot. I think Firth was 21 or 22 when he played it on stage, but he was 25 when the film was made.

It is an acquired taste and not for everyone, so know that before jumping in.

I've always found it funny that Peter Firth's two most famous roles are soooooo different, but I think he likes that, and I do too.

Sorry, going off topic a little, but you dont like Burton !! Good grief. Equus wasnt his best I admit but have you not seen "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?" The best acting performance by anyone, ever.
