Movie Reviews of The Millionairess

Movie Review: Excellent production
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent production. If you are at all interested in this, I recommend getting "The Shaw Collection" DVD set instead. These are a series of televised BBC "Play of the Month". The production values aren't always top-notch, but the acting is typically quite good. The direction and sets are very stage-like as opposed to a TV or cinema movie.
This would be more enjoyable for Shaw, literature, or theater fans than your average public. Maggie Smith does a fantastic job. The rest of the cast is excellent. I haven't read the play so I don't know if anything was changed. The first time I tried watching it, I fell asleep several times. The next time I watched it I was glued to the screen.

Movie Review: Maggie steals the show
Summary: 5 Stars

The Millionairess has always been one of my favorite plays by Bernard Shaw (along with Pygmalion and Caesar and Cleopatra) and this BBC production of it is definitely worth your money.

Dame Maggie Smith is absolutely perfect as Epifania and, as expected, steals the show and runs away with it. The rest of the cast is perfect as well, with the possible exception of Charles Gray as Adrian, who didn't really fulfil my expectations of the character.

Movie Review: The Millionairess
Summary: 5 Stars

This play by Bernard Shaw was viewed by me recently. Mr. Shaw truly was gifted. The main character is a woman after my own heart. She sets out to get what she wants and does it, against all odds. The DVD came in a timely manner and the packaging was fine.
