Borstal Boy   2000     2 and a half stars    N/R, 92 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Peter Sheridan  
Cast: Shawn Hatosy, Danny Dyer, Michael York, Robin Laing, Mark Huberman, Eva Birthistle, Lee Ingleby

  During World War II, I.R.A. soldier Brendan Behan (Shawn Hatosy) is caught trying to assemble a bomb in Liverpool. He is sentenced to an East Anglian reform school where his fellow inmates include a Polish Jew, a Scot, a rapist, and a gay sailor. By movie's end, the story implies that Brendan is transformed by his experience into an enlightened young man intent on leaving his fight for the I.R.A. and discovering his creative self. The facts of Brendan Behan's life, however, do not support the conclusion. Upon release from reform school, Brendan returned to Ireland where he shot a policeman and was sentenced to prison–the first of a number of prison terms.

  This classic story is brought to TV with several deviations from the original story–a major one being that it is set in Budapest rather than Paris. After orchestra leader Sandor's (Maximilian Schell) singer wife (Jane Seymour) receives a bad review and commits suicide, Sandor gets into a fight with the critic (Philip Stone) and is burned with acid. Sandor takes refuge beneath the opera house, and five years later emerges as the masked Phantom. He falls in love with chorus girl Maria Gianelli (also played by Seymour) who greatly resembles his dead wife. Maria is in love with the director of the opera, Michael Hartnell (Michael York), but the Phantom tutors Maria and terrorizes the cast and all those who stand in the way of Maria's stardom. Good cast and scenery.
