The Tale of Sweeney Todd - Ben Kingsley

From DVD: The Demon Barber Legend was previously a Victorian penny dreadful novel by Christopher Bond. This John Schlesinger drama, scripted by Peter Shaw, is set in turn of the century London, where bald barber Sweeney Todd (Ben Kingsley) runs a cutting edge business with an affluent clientele. He also has several sidelines, including the sale of his murder victims' jewelry, plus a profitable agreement with Mrs. Lovett, who uses an industrial size meat grinder to prepare her tasty "meat pies" for her unsuspecting customers. American insurance investigator Ben Carlyle, tracking $50,000 worth of missing diamonds, encounters corruption throughout the city as he attempts to solve the case. Victorian London locales seen here were actually filmed in Dublin.
