''Sweeney Todd'' is a film made by the BBC in 2006. It is mostly based on the original legend of ''Theatre/SweeneyTodd'', as written by Preskett Prest (or Rymer) in ''Literature/TheStringOfPearls'' but deviates from this somewhat as well as including elements from [[Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet Sondheim's musical]]. It gives Sweeney a DarkAndTroubledPast (read: FreudianExcuse) and fleshes out his relationship with Mrs Lovett.

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: The BBC do everything in their power to avert this where Sweeney is concerned. Mrs Lovett's reasons for loving him (initially, at least) are very plausible. Her care for her first husband, a JerkAss wife-beater without a single redeeming feature, is a much straighter example of the trope.
