Movie Reviews of Under the Biltmore Clock

Movie Review: Yes, Sean Young can act
Summary: 4 Stars

I know, I know--I was surprised. But act she does, splendidly nailing the slight desperation of the flapper heroine of this piece,and the saving grace of pride that makes you love her character in the end.

This is the best kind of wonderful surprise of a movie, one where you don't expect anything special from it. A PBS adaptation of an F. Scott Fitzgerald story? How boring is THAT going to be? And it starts off staid and unremarkable, and gets better and better as it goes until you realize you've been had, and this is one that's going to stick in the memory a long, long time.

It's also wonderful in that all of its plot and surprises spring directly from the characters. Everything gets wilder and wilder, and everything makes perfect sense in retrospect.

I'm only giving it four stars, because I haven't seen the DVD yet---I'm rating the movie itself. I'll be back with an evaluation of the transfer.

Summary of Under the Biltmore Clock

It's 1920 and romance is in bloom at the Biltmore Hotel under its famous clock. For Myra Harper, age 21, it's time to stop "playing around" and find a husband, and the unsuspecting, handsome, shy and quite wealthy Knowlton Whitney is the perfect target.

Romance, it seems, will work quite well with Myra and Knowlton. For they fall in love and it's time to meet his outrageously eccentric family and the bizarre characters who inhabit Whitney mansion! Suddenly Myra is caught on a comic roller coaster of events trying to save her romance.

Sean Young takes a spin through this delightful PBS adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's charming "Myra Meets His Family".
