Movie Reviews of Daphne Laureola
Movie Review: See it for Olivier
Summary: 3 Stars
This was among the play-to-TV movies presented by Sir Laurence in the late 1970's. I thought it was pretty good, although Joan Plowright seemed rather stiff. I don't know if it's what the play called for, but I thought she came off rather...stiff. I've seen her in other movies and was surprised. Maybe it's the character or the direction, but watching her Lady Pitts going on and on in a drunken state became boring after a while. Still, the young actor who plays Ernest is good to watch and Olivier, although in a minor part, steals the show. I don't want to give the plot away, but he very believably fools the audience (well, maybe I'm just gullible) when on the screen.
