Review

Having directed Charles Laughton in the American premiere in 1947, Losey set out to re-create his vision of Bertolt Brecht's iconoclastic masterpiece on film. Settling for Chaim Topol in the lead, Losey's film version, while adequate, fails to stay true to Brecht's vision of Galileo as a traitor to science and instead brands him a hero. Still, for lovers of theatre, and Brecht especially, the staging here is daring and effective.
