Review of Our Town

i was disappointed with this version of this great American masterpiece as the ending frayed too far from the original script, leaving me feeling somewhat annoyed and unmoved by the whole experience. A great performance for its time none the less, but if you have managed to track down a copy of this 1940's version i strongly suggest another endeavor, in reading the original script as it should be or seeing a staged performance. I understand that for audiences of the time the original ending seemed somewhat depressing but in changing it for this film, in my opinion, so much of the meaning is lost.

Seven stars for the movie, ten for the original.
