As the director of a theatre version of the play i was intrigued to see this film version, but found its directional tone a little too dark for my liking. I felt Newman failed to extract some of the humour from the text, although his overall character placement etc was pleasing. i liked woodward's amanda which i felt had the right blend of the endearing and the pathetic and i felt Allen was a delightful laura. i found Malkovich's tom just a little too intense and brooding. again, i would have liked to see more of the humour brought to life.
