A well written biography of Franz Joseph Haydn delivered with love and wit by Sir Peter Ustinov. This should be on a DVD since it has some nice location shots where Haydn spent his life and also it needs good audio for the musical excerpts. I know it would not attract a mass market since it is classical music, but there may be enough of us out there to make it pay.
Ustinov's narration held my interest and made me chuckle more than a few times. The music is well played by European artists.
Since I only have a copy of it on super VHS, I can't comment on its technical video quality, but I assume the master recording would generate a decent DVD.
