Sweeney, Sheila on DVD

Sweeney and Sheila on DVD: Oh, this is just the best news so far this year! Two new DVDs will be released on April 20: The 1982 Emmy Award-winning television version of Sweeney Todd, starring Angela Lansbury and George Hearn, and The Last of Sheila, my favorite mystery-thriller film of all time, written by Stephen Sondheim and Tony Perkins and directed by Herbert Ross with a fantastic cast.

Pesky broadcast rights issues had held up the release of the former forever and I carefully protected my precious VHS version, refusing to lend it and only once or twice permitting it to leave my home, always under escort. Good copies are exceedingly rare and often fetch a princely sum on eBay or through trading channels. I'm a bit more generous with my VHS of Sheila, since it is still in print. It'll be grand to have them both on DVD and back in circulation.
