This is a VHS transfer. This 3-hour TV adaptation of the 1932 Aldous Huxley novel is set 600 years in the future. In this "well- ordered" society, the citizens are required to take mind-controlling drugs, sex without love is compulsory, and test-tube babies are commonplace because of a ban on pregnancy. Keir Dullea heads the cast as Thomas Grahmbell, "director of hatcheries". Not everybody is satisfied with society's lack of humanity and feeling; the loudest dissidents are free-thinking poet Heimholtz Watson (Dick Anthony Williams) and brilliant oddball Bernard Marx (Bud Cort). An injection of new "old" ideas are brought in by "primitive" John Savage (Kristoffer Tabori), who lives on an Indian reservation which still honors 20th century values. Meanwhile, Linda Lysenko (Julie Cobb) becomes a natural mother--and in so doing becomes a criminal.

Fine transfer from TV.(Disturbing subject matter! Captures the book quite well!)

Perhaps dated, but still compelling viewing
The print seems to have been copied from a video recorded off a BBC airing of this TV movie, which was butchered for the US release. Universal has yet to put out this full 3-hour version, so despite the disappointing picture quality, fans of the novel should scoop this one while they can. It's one of the best TV movie adaptation of a sci-fi classic.
