4 stars Peter Gabriel Productions Presents . . ."THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY" A Peter Gabriel Film: Written and Directed by: Peter Gabriel Starring: Peter Gabriel & Tony Banks - Co-Starring: Phil Collins & Steve Hackett - and introducing: Mike Rutherford.

An excellent first "solo" project for the avante gard Mr. Gabriel. He assembles a first rate supporting cast. Notable among them is Mr. Tony Banks, who turns in arguably his best performance to date. A fair argument can be made though, that the talents of co-stars, Mr. Collins & Mr. Hackett, are under utilized. Mr. Rutherford does a yeomans job on his small, but important role. The storyline and screenplay are A+. The cinematography and soundtrack are B/B+ respectivley. Peter parted ways with this troupe after its release. Both he and the remaining cast would go onto greater crtical success in scores like SECURITY, and UP, for Mr. Gabriel, and A TRICK of the TAIL for Collins, et al. Nonetheless, it's a rolicking good time. Be sure to pick this one up, the whole family will thank you.
