Movie Reviews of The World of Henry Orient
Movie Review: Something Missing
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie just misses being something special... what could it be? Peter Sellers is my favorite actor but the accents he uses in this movie don't work. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to viewing pleasure is Tom Bosley's role as an absentee father - his acting is stiff and pretentious. When he says his lines, it's like he's reading them right off the script. Make-up! Mr. Bosley's smoking jacket! Take ten! The teen-age girls are adorable, Gilbert's mother and mother's friend are right on the mark, as well. But Paula Prentiss! I kept wondering why Henry Orient would keep pursuing her - with her neurotic mannerisms and skinny old self. Altogether this flick is mediocre at best.Movie Review: Poor quality sound
Summary: 2 Stars
Lovely 5-star film. Had me laughing aloud many times. But (as has previously been mentioned) the sound quality on this DVD is pathetic. Very hard to hear. One needs to turn volume way up, and maybe use the subtitles too. A great pity.Movie Review: the world of henry orient

The sound quality of the movie is very poor. No matter how loud you make it you can't seem to understand what they are saying.Movie Review: Beyond Horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
After seeing the number of glowing reviews I had to put in my thoughts - - this was beyond horrible. I was quite ready to turn this off at the 15 minute mark. Someone mentioned the weird scene with the girls jumping over things - - in slow motion - - I think they were just trying to shoot up their dresses. I especially hated the fact that the "girls" looked SO mature, but were playing 13/14 year olds. I just looked them up and I was correct - the actresses were 16 and 17 at theh time they played the "girls". They couldn't find some precocious pre-teens to play the part?? The funniest part of the movie was the scene with the checkers while the "symphony" was playing. 10 seconds - maybe. PAINFUL movie to watch. Also, as previously mentioned the sound was horrible.Movie Review: Where's the Sound?
Summary: 1 Stars
The sound on this DVD is terribly muffled. Had to turn the volume way up, but that only helps somewhat because it's still so unclear. Then some of the brighter tones of the music come through fullblast and you have to turn the volume down again. There's no excuse for this. The movie sounds and looks great when it airs on Turner Classic Movies, and I expected the DVD to be as good if not an improvement, but this DVD issue is a real disappointement.
