the worse film adaptation of a really good book ever as far as i'm concerned.

it's beyond me why this film is considered to be a classic

I know we've had this discussion before but, if you can ignore the sledgehammer subtlety of the religious theme, its still a good film in its own right. However, my views have altered since reading the book and I can appreciate your points much more.
My folks have the vinyl of Jeff Waynes musical, must be a collectors item.
