• Godspell | DVD | (01/11/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  The international hit musical sensation Godspell comes to life in this first ever UK dvd release of the screen adaptation. An updated interpretation of the Gospels' lessons filled with unforgetable song and and dance numbers such as the chart hit Day By Day, Godspell is a rousing entertainment in the tradition of the classic rock operas Hair, Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar. John the baptist (David Haskall) gathers a diverse band of youthful disciples to follow and learn from the teachings of Jesus (Victor Garber). They form a roving acting troupe that enacts Parables through the streets and landmarks of a brilliantly photographed, contemporary New York City.

  A wimpy remake of an already anaemic movie (the 1947 Rita Hayworth vehicle Down to Earth), this glitzy musical from 1980 improbably stars Olivia Newton-John as a heavenly muse sent here to help open a roller-derby disco. Gene Kelly is mixed up in this well-meaning but goofy effort to fuse nostalgia with late-70s glitter-ball trendiness, and he looks just plain silly. Directed by Robert Greenwald, the film doesn't even work as decent kitsch. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
