There's a film version of "Under Milk Wood".  It's not much of a film, but
if you watch it just to hear Thomas' language, it can be a very fine experience,
especially since it stars Richard Burton as one of the male voices.  Peter
O'Toole is also in it, as Captain Cat.  Elizabeth Taylor has a small role.
Burton's voice is perfect for reading Thomas, and he is the main reason to
see the film.  Unless I'm mistaken, "Under Milk Wood" started life as a radio
play, and I think it might work best as a purely aural experience.
