POTO was ALW's last great work. I don't think anything he wrote after that was any good at all and the last few productions have flopped miserably!
I saw the movie today, and I'm not even going to try to compare it to the stage production. You can't, really, as there are things that can be done on screen that is impossible to do realistically on stage (e.g. horse back scenes). There are also things that seem "magical" on stage that isn't really on screen (e.g. chandelier falling...it's "scarier" live).
I personally liked the black and white footage and epilogue, which I don't believe was in the stage production (the cemetary scene at the very end).
