Breathtaking vistas
I have always been a fan of David Lean's films, but I had not seen this since its theatrical release some 30 years ago. While it may not be top-drawer Lean, it is still magnificent in many respects. The DVD remastering and digital transfer are pristine and the widescreen vistas of the western coast of Ireland simply take your breath away. Excellent performances all around, a good story, and quite entertaining. The only thing I didn't like was the theme song; it really got repetitive and annoying after a while. The score, in my opinion, is not Maurice Jarre's best effort. On the whole, highly recommended.
