Worthwhile realization of Huxley's Classic, 6 April 2000
8/10
Author: Holly (aromatic@ivillage.com) from New York, NY

If you haven't read the book, this 1980 made-for-TV rendition will do quite nicely. It strikes the right balance between humour and futuristic melodrama to hold interest but always remain credible. Julie Cobb is hysterical in her supporting role, and Jonelle Allen is wonderful. It does a great job of illustrating Huxley's vision of what could be the future, and its potential downside.
