An adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's dark social satire, set in the seedy underbelly of Victorian London and revolving around the relationship of Mackie ‘The Knife' Messer and Polly Peachum. The Threepenny Opera is a landmark of early cinema, and one of the few surviving examples of the brief use of a different cast for different languages. This two disk set contains both the German and French productions. Dark, sinister, stylish, magnificent!
