Best to read the reviews before watching this one.


Had I done a more thorough job of reading thru the IMDB reviews of this movie, I'd have been much better off. As a moral parable, an exercise in the examination of the human character, or a view of callous upper crust behavior in in 1912 England, I suppose this delivers.

Be prepared for an overwrought and unlikely splash of melodrama.

I think the tale works just as well nowadays as it did back when the Original adaptation came out. I have not seen the original play, but i assume it was similar enough.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the world is full of selfish, graspers and Hollywood endings are very rare indeed.
