Movie Reviews of He Knew He Was Right
Movie Review: He Knew He Was Right is an Excellent BBC mini-series well worth your time and money!
Summary: 5 Stars
Anthony Trollope is famed for his Barchester and Palliser
novels but wrote many more excellent pieces of ficton. He Knew
He Was Right is a huge three-decker which was recently dramatized in the lush,leisurely told and faithful to the text the way we
expect from the BBC! Excellent actors; exquiste costuming and
beautiful scenery add to the joys of watching classic works come alive on the screen.
The novel tells the tragic tale of the wealthy Louis Trevelyan who weds the beautiful Emily . She is the daughter of a British
diplomat posted in the Mandarin Islands. The novel has several
plot strands.
1. Louis wrongly thinking he was right accuses Emily of adultery
with the odious old flirt Colonel Osborne. He take their child
little Louis and flees to Italy. As a result of his fatuous mono-
mania a tragedy transpires.
2. The charming tale of the love of Dorothy and Brook Burke in
the city of Wells. Anna Massey plays the fussy but lovable old
aunt opposing their union.
3. The story of Nora the sister of Emily and her love for an
impecunious newspaper paper man following her rejection of the
wealthy Lord Glasscock (he in turns falls in love with of all
people-an American)
4. The hilarious tale of poor Rev. Gibson caught between two
frightful French sisters who quarrel and battle over the right to
be Mrs. Gibson!!!!!!!
The Victorian time was the great age of the English novel. Trollope could tell a complicated story; knew human nature and
keeps us laughing,crying and guessing throughout each of the
four episodes in the series!
An excellent dramatization of the life of Trollope is an added bonus.
Excellent for all of us Anglophiles!
