There is no comparison!!! Angela Lansbury is the best Nellie Lovett! Helena Bonham Carter sadly had none of Angela's energy and played the part like a jaded goth chick.

Even though I've loved Helena Bonham Carter since the Merchant-Ivory days, I have to say the movie Sweeney was really jarring for me. But that's probably because I fell in love with this particular Angela Lansbury production, and especially the cast recording. The score was drastically altered for the film--not, in my opinion, for the better. But I completely agree--this is one of the most inspired and brilliant musicals ever produced. It's what first made me a Sondheim fan.

Still my favorite of all performances. Angela Lansbury *is* Mrs. Lovett.

Did you really just call Mrs. Lovett Nellie...?
