   Is Beggars' Opera a good movie?

   • There is a general lack of conviction and a total lack of restraint and/or finesse. Any individual passage might sound fine in a proper setting, but that's another area where Beggars' Opera seems lacking. If pressed to pick a highlight, I choose the frontier abandon of "Light Cavalry", where at least the mood suits the historical themes.

   6 days ago · The Beggar's Opera [Lucy Lockit] The Acting Company, Billy Rose Theatre. 1973-4. This production was with John Houseman's The Acting Company. I lost a laugh in Denver, Colorado and for six months I chewed the scenery to get it back. The company used to come to the wings to see if I'd succeed. I lost it for good that sad night at the Bonfis Theatre.
