Movie Reviews of Summer's Lease
Movie Review: Intriguing mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this series when it first aired on PBS and have read the book several times. It never gets tiring. The movie is very close to the book. The performance by Sir John Gielgud is astounding and masterful.Movie Review: Summers Lease
Summary: 5 Stars
John Mortimer stories do not disappoint, A wonderfully crafted story with solid performances by all. John Gielgud is magnificent; his character is a catalyst for most of the plot and sub-plots.Movie Review: GOOD ACTING
Summary: 5 Stars
AS USUAL, MR. GEILGUD, AND MR, KEMP ARE FLAWLESS IN THIS MOVIE. THE SCENES ARE ALSO BEAUTIFUL. I FEEL LIKE RENTING THE SAME PLACE.AFTER WATCHING THIS MOVIE UNFOLD.Movie Review: Gielgud, and Gielgud, and Gielguud !
Summary: 4 Stars
Two discs totaling 220 minutes viewing. Molly (mom)finds villa in Tuscany which Daddy (Gielgud) loves, but hubby and daughter not thrilled.Rolly-Polly plots unfold, The Villa owner disappears, followed by a water shortage, daughter in the well (got stuck and scared stiff. Daddy finds a rich widow, off to the horse races in Sienna. many changing scenarios and plots but story defintely lacks continuity. Good Author,(John Mortimer) but not his best work. For the price of this two disc set, I would say probably buying not a wise move. The story is long but uninteresting.Movie Review: CASTING IS A MYSTERY
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoy British mysteries, and the adult actors in this production I recognized from other productions I've seen. Most of them were very good. And Gielgud was the best thing about this show. But why, with all this talent about, would you hire someone so strange for the leading role -- a lady who runs around with a stupid and meaningless smile and who has the weirdest posture and ambulation of any actor ever. Whatever else this series had going for it, and I enjoyed every other part, this flaw really stood out. I don't understand it, but there it is.
