Bad Production
PostedDecember 11, 2011
Shaihalude1
from North Providence, RI
The voices and acting of the three majors were able to overcome this stupid production. While Kaufmann"s acting was stiff the others played their parts convincingly.
Now to the production. McAunuff could not match his concept to the libreto. It was most out of sinc when in act V Mephistopheles Tells Faust that the horses are waiting(using horses in 1946?). He could not keep his time periods straight-act II soldiers going off as French Infantry and act V jailers as American MPs. Was it really necessary to have Marguerite go off to redemption in army boots?

Yes, I recommend this movie.
