Is an adaptation of
The audacity of John Collier's "screenplay" of Milton's great epic poem is matched only by its success: here is a startlingly alive euphonious, and visual pieces of work, an act of highest love. The extraordinary images of Milton's hideous and radiant monsters, of burning hell and glowing paradise, of archetypal human beings trapped in the pregnant situations of fable - all contribute to the realization of his intention: not presumptuously, to improve Milton, not even to dare to "amplify" his work, but rather to celebrate him.
