Movie Reviews of Prisoner of Honor
Movie Review: An excellent film with an objective perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a very pleasant surprise. Usually movies based on the so-called antisemitic incidents tend to be schmalzy and overdone, with bad guys badly demonized and good guys godly idealized (see, for example, "The Fixer" or "Schindler's List".) "Prisoner of Honor" does not suffer from such shortcomings - Picquard's dislike of Jews is not passed over, and reasonable motives of some of his opponents are not suppressed, either. Richard Dreyfus (one of the film's producers) is truly excellent in the role of Colonel Picquard, and the supporting crew (mostly British actors, including the late Oliver Reed) does a very good job indeed. The ironic touch, so typical of the director Ken Russell ("The Devils", "Mahler"), which drew the undeserved ire of the previous reviewer, definitely adds color and nerve to the entire show. All in all, a film truly worth watching.
