Marlow's play about the man who sold his soul to the devil for 27 years of pleasure is not the most cheerful of topics. But the horror element is well-played in this classy production with Burton as the title character and Liz Taylor as Helen of Troy, the "face that launched a thousand ships."
Mario Nascimbene's spooky score gives an appropriately dark mood to this great masterpiece of a story.
