 Rating:  - Okay Remake of a ClassicOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker Shadow Watcher Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake The best thing about this 1994 adaptation of Terence Rattigan's moving stage play is Albert Finney's terrific, multi-layered performance. He plays a brilliant but stern classics instructor at a British upper class prep school who, after eighteen years, is forced out of his job (with no pension) and also into the realization that, with the exception ... Read More Rating:  - Scacchi and Finney positively make this Browning Version!Having seen Terrence Rattigan's play performed live several times,as well as having seen the original 1951 film adaptation,director Mike Figgis has scored a real triumph with Greta Scacchi and Albert Finney in the roles of Laura and Andrew Crocker-Harris.The play itself is not IMO the most lively of stories,nor certainly the finest play yet written,but what Scacchi and Finney bring to the table as this terribly ill suited husband and wife is screen magic and their performances alone put this BROWNING VERSION ... Read More Rating: - This is a truly excellent film.....If you love Albert Finney, & Gretta Scacchi (as all humans in their right mind should of course), you will enjoy this movie. I saw another person here complaining about Albert Finney's performance, but I think it's wonderful, & he "carries" the film IMO. Gretta Scacchi......well, I would go watch her read the phone book, but this may not be her absolute best film performance--hard to say if that's the direction, or what, but she still does a great job at portraying the gorgeous (adulterous) wife of a ... Read More Rating: - Flawed but worth watchingI had never seen the Redgrave movie and I watched this for Finney. I never cried so hard, mainly for lost opportunities. Yet, there was hope for Crocker-Harris at the end. I would hope so. His decision to part from his wife was his first step towards freedom. My problem is that since it was updated to the nineties, why didn't they divorce? She could have left him years before that, when divorce was acceptable. And Matthew Modine. Unfortunately, in too many British films and television series, ... Read More Rating:  - Where's the original Browning Version film?I am astounded first of all about the rave reviews of The Browing Version film starring Albert Finney produced in 1994 when the first and finest version (to use a pun) was released in 1951 starring Michael Redgrave. The 1994 release is a very poor remake compared to the original classic and if you think Finney's film is great, then you have much to look forward to see the other picture. Why oh why can't the Redgrave movie be converted to DVD? Anyone out there know if such a CD is available ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
