i liked anthony.... good voice, good looking, good actor..... but it was a little strange that he imeadiately fell in love with johanna...
confused That was actually quite a common occurrence for the time period... it happened all the time. A guy would see a pretty girl and decide he wanted her without ever saying a word to her. Remember, this was back before men had fully realized women had brains. At the time, it was all looks and breeding, and considering Antony was a sailor, he really couldn't be picky concerning his intendeds pedigree. Actually, he kinda had high hopes there, considering she was the ward of a respected judge.
And anyways...you guys do realize his name is Antony, not Anthony? No 'h'. At least, in the movie. I'm not sure about the actual musical, I've seen it done both ways...
But... the only thing about Antony that bothered me was the whole wide eyed crazy man expression he had some of the time... it was especially bad when he was bloody from Beadle beating him... that was kinda creepy...
