Robert Louis Stevenson's St. Ives

I rented this movie several years ago and then forgot the title so it took me forever to find it. It was so worth finding! I love historical movies, but my husband does not. Because of the humor and action in this one, he actually liked it.

The plot moves quickly from Napoleon Era France to Scotland and then back to France. The characters of Jacques, Flora, and Aunt Susan are portrayed well, but the best is Richard Grant as Major Farquar, who is clueless, yet, steadfast and honest. He is the center of most of the comical scenes. The movie includes comedy, romance, mystery, and action, a hard combination to find in period movies. If your one who finds these types of movies `slow' and `boring', this one is definitely not.

I didn't expect the movie such a dark comedy. The cast was great but there wasn't enough of Craig Ferguson in it. I'm sure that I'll get more from it as I watch it again and again, though.

Our Mutual Friend (1998) (3pc) [VHS]

I like Dicken's stories for his memorable characters. The good are so kind and innocent and the villains so dispicable and evil. This movie succeeds because it takes the time to develop the personalities and lives of these fascinating people. I taped it from PBS over three nights. Its six hours long and you won't want to miss a minute.

Dickens' rats and angels come from all manner of social strata in turn of the century England. No one is free from Dickens scathing critique. The plots are set amidst the backdrop of an aristocracy which is collapsing under its own weight. The middle class grows and the born-rich are forced to socialize with "new" money. How distasteful! Even the poor are not immune to the social structure of the time; a river boatman, who dredges the river for bodies, will not let his son go to school. He must carry on the family trade, like his father did!

The casting and the acting is just right. Oh, the faces of these actors and actresses say so much. You will fall in love with the hero and heroine as they try to figure out what they should do.

I must admit, I like the evil guys! They are simply awful to the core. My favorite scene is when Riderhood unexpectedly shows up in the school teachers classroom sitting among the young pupils sharing his wisdom. After his little speech, he ruffles a boys hair. I wanted to douse the poor lad's head in lice shampoo. But, there are a lot of neer-do-wells in this story who need their comeuppance and Dickens doesn't fail to deliver!

The movie is filmed in a rainy London. The scenery and locations are wonderful. The costumes perfect. I love period peices and this one ranks up there with the best of them.
