Do NOT buy this non-professional, filmed-in-my-garage video. We thought we'd get a version of The Necklace to show to students who had read the short story but it was a joke. What should have been a 20 minute video was over an hour long with bad acting, bad videography, and bad music. Don't waste your money.

I bought this sight unseen to show my 9th graders when we read the story in class. It is so bad, acting, dialogue, camera work, etc. that they can hardly stand to see it. I use it as an example of how a great story idea can be ruined. I stress how artists make choices and how this is full of bad ones. I tell them that the stories we read may not be their favorites, but that they are at least well crafted works of art. This is not. Really, my favorite scene is where they replace the fabulously costly lost necklace with one they buy in a Hallmark Gift Shop.
