The Tale of Sweeney Todd (1998)

Postby Froggie on 12 Jul 2008, 12:20

Have you ever seen this movie?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147582/
Joanna plays Mrs Lovett and cooks excellent meat pies with all the corpses offered by the barber Sweeney Todd (Ben Kingsley).

Unfortunately I found the italian version on the web so I couldn't enjoy Joanna's voice, and the quality of this vid is not very good.
But gonna try to add some caps asap :wink:

I think I might have found it on Bol.com - this must be it. It's not free, but we CAN order it at least. (and it's not very expensive)

No need to be ashamed, I download as much as I can too.. :laugh: I just don't think there is any downloadable file on the net because the more recent version of ST is so popular..

The movie is from '97 by the way, not from 1998 by the way, so there must be at least something on the internet.. It's not THAT old..

I found this review, but that's about it really:

For some reason, Hammer omitted Sweeney Todd from their Grand Guignol repertoire, but this cable version catches the flavour of the old firm, even down to the fiery climax. In opposition to Tod Slaughter's pre-war hiss-me-I'm-a-villain rendition, Ben Kingsley offers a rather gentle monster. In fact apart from the odd severed windpipe, the horror is limited to the camera's examination of Mrs Lovett's equivocal meat pies. Most successful is the design, especially the slimy passages and shadowy horror chambers beneath Fleet St. Joanna Lumley appears with blackened teeth and grimy drawers, but despite an itinerary which includes flagellation and cannibalism, that familiar mist of refinement obstinately refuses to disperse.


As soon as I have some more money to spend, I'll buy it.

Oh, I see! Problem solved then.. ;)

I just noticed that the DVD (on the website I mentioned earlier) is now even cheaper - only 6 EU!

A promise is a promise, sorry guys for waiting so long before uploading caps.
They're a bit blurry cause the quality of the vid is not very good, but better than nothing.

So, let me introduce you to the lovely Mrs Lovett :D

I so desperately wanna see this - Sweeney Todd is one of the best movies I've ever seen, it's a cult! The 2007 version wasn't really popular in the Netherlands, so the date of DVD release was put off about three times, so when it finally was available, I immediately bought both the soundtrack and DVD...

Must - see - the - Joanna - version. She'd make the perfect Mrs. Lovett, can you please post some more caps?

She's nearly the pre-version of Delilah! :lol:

I've just cut 4 short bits and I'm uploading them, so, even if Joanna's voice is dubbed, you can have a look at her character.
