Rating:  - Not on DVD?

Rating: - Superb!
This is by far the best adaptation ever made! True to the text with stellar performances by the entire cast. In our opinion this is the best performance ever done by the great Anthony Hopkins. My VHS version has worn out because we have made a family tradition of watching it together every Christmas. I cannot understand why this not out on DVD!
