Movie Reviews of The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd
Movie Review: SHOCKED!
Summary: 2 Stars
This review is about "The Rainbow" which is on the flip side of "The Widowing Of Mrs. Holroyd". I couldn't believe my eyes. Nowhere was there any warning that this movie would have nude scenes.
Imogen Stubbs, Ursula the main character, goes skinny dipping with her teacher Miss Ingert. They disrobe together in the house, run down the path to the lake and start making out. Then Miss Ingert carries Ursula into the water where they embrace again. It was gross and totally unexpected. Hardly anything is left to the imagination. No wonder the British magistrates ordered all the unsold copies of the book to be burned.
Apparently Ursula, a real whacko, enjoys undressing because she also had some wild love scenes with her boyfriend, who only shows us his chest and backside. (Miss Ingert got married to a man, even though she still loved Ursula.)
I really think the BBC could've put some sort of warning on the dvd. They rate all their other stuff like "Doctor Finlay", so why didn't they rate this? Most period dramas don't have these types of scenes. They're usually quite tame, but this one was a real shocker. It went straight into the garbage, what the British call the "bin", which is where it belongs, especially if you don't want your kids to get hold of it.
