...more lavish production, and excellent performances by the principals. The crew of the famous ship whirls and leaps in a comic dance, with several planned encores. The dancing is excellent, but at times choreographer Ruth Perrenod and director Lindsay Davis push a little too hard.

With few exceptions the immigrants remain chiefly archetypes--the homesick mother, burdened with children and aging, the father struggling to fulfill his dream of betterment for his family. In Troell's hands the characters are molded to illustrate the point he is making about our history, about...
