Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeIf it's true that a people get the government they deserve, mightn't it be equally true that a people get the God they deserve?
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzIn spots a very amusing and irreverent tongue-in-cheek satire on class that features a tour de force performance by Peter O'Toole.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 6/10 by Bob BloomA wonderful, wild ride. Peter O'Toole is outstanding.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyThe plot is convoluted but director Peter Medak makes some good satirical points about the British class system and Peter O'Toole is terrific in a well-deserved Oscar-nominated performance.
User Review - 10/10 by mirabella 1Brilliant, mad, eccentric, irreverent, 100% British classic film-making at its very best.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael AProbably One Of The Finest Films Ever Made
User Review - 10/10 by Lee MI miss Peter O'Toole so much because of films like this one...
User Review - 10/10 by Michael SPeter O'Toole is the man. This movie is insane, but totally awesome.
User Review - 10/10 by Brian R"Behaviour which would be considered insanity in a tradesman is looked upon as mild eccentricity in a lord." The late great Peter O'Toole really should have won a Best Actor Oscar for his performance as the 14th Earl of Gurney. I have never seen a better portrayal of mental illness. It's an extraordinary film which starts off as a strange hybrid of P. G. Wodehouse and Joe Orton before straying into darker territory when the Earl seems to become possessed by Jack the Ripper; it's also a brilliant satire of the class system and what constitutes normality in the upper echelons.
User Review - 10/10 by Sandra Ann GMy parents took me to see this movie when I back in 1972 when I was 12. I credit them with being quite broad-minded! It's one of my favorite movies of all time.
