Movie Reviews of Washington Square
Movie Review: 19th century type romanic novel brought to life
Summary: 4 Stars
This novel as a movie brings to mind Jane Austin with the 19th century
morays. Where Jane Austin pulled happiness out of all odds,
this has a more American tragic bent in which a father's domination
dooms the love of his relatively homely daughter.
In truth he turns out to be a fortune hunter,
but the main theme is the father who loves his daughter
but can't really see her or her life in real terms.
At the last he even cuts her from his will,
after she has been his faith final nurse.
There is nothing here but a tragic old maid end for the daughter
who takes up teaching small children.
Movie Review: ery. Good but could have been slightly better....
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this and like it and I bought it but it's not what I call a classic, still it's quite good adapatation of the novel. If you're a fan of the story, I recommend you try to get your hands on the play adaptation of this story "The Heiress" with Montgomery Cliff and Olivia DeHaviland playing the 'ugly duckling.' The story and acting is far surpassed by Washington Square.. it is currently not available on DVD but if you watch TCM you might catch it. It's a 5 starrer. (if that's a word.)Movie Review: father daughter conflict
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie is entertaining and the acting is above par, the disillusionment of the girl on her first love is real and of course does not make it a happy ending, so if you are into a love story, forget it, but if you are into good emotional acting go for it. As always, Albert Finney is first class, Ben Chaplin as well as Maggie Smith and Jennifer Jason Leigh play admirably together. A classic!Movie Review: Washington Square DVD Review
Summary: 4 Stars
This remake of the 1949 classic The Heiress is also an excellent film; however--as another reviewer has stated--the 1.85:1 DVD is not enhanced for 16:9 TVs. Nevertheless, the picture and sound are still good, although a movie of such caliber should be re-released as an anamorphic widescreen.Movie Review: worth watching
Summary: 4 Stars
The story starts slow and quiet and grows crueler, more devious and Ben Chaplin has a loud Big Mouth in a huge payoff scene for the audience. The Heiress is a great movie but this one won't be a waste of time or a disappointment.
