Altman does British Costume Drama to Perfection Advantages: A really good film with a great cast Disadvantages: None Gosford Park is an old fashioned English film made by one of the great American auteurs of the twentieth century, Robert Altman. It has a huge array of acting talent involved and was released in 2001 to critical acclaim, at the time it won best original screenplay at the Oscars as well as a Bafta for the Best British Film, it was also lauded as a return to form for Altman whilst Julian Fellowes received similar praise for his script. Ok so that's ... ...Set in 1932, Gosford Park is a wonderfully elegant English country estate. Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) and Lady Sylvia McCordle (Kristen Scott Thomas) gather their closest friends and relations for a weekend shooting party. The film follows the various eclectic guests who have come for the weekend as well as the staff during this hectic weekend. The film is a comedy of manners and class, it has elements of farce and sex, as well as a murder. ... paulie1975 29.09.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Gosford Park (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

The Singing Detective Advantages: Different and very entertaining. Disadvantages: None. ...interested as I had watched the T.V. series ' The singing Detective ' by Dennis Potter (which I thought was brilliant ) I did'nt know it had been made into a movie and on seeing that Robert Downey Jr was playing the lead role among some other good actors I thought it was worth borrowing. Although based on the TV series of the same name and the same storyline there are a few differences.................. The TV series is set in 1940's London with ... ...and bedridden.

Lest we forget! Advantages: A timely reminder of what could have been Disadvantages: Don't expect an action packed film, but do expect to be enlightened Charlotte Gray, based on the real life exploits of British women spies who were sent to France during WW2 is a clever film. It is not just about one person (Charlotte Gray) although she is centre stage, it covers the fear and double dealing which were rife in France at that time, shows how the people helped each other as a way of life rather than out of duty and most of all gives you a feel for the danger that they put not only themselves in, but ... ...very cleverly aired “The Real Charlotte Grays” immediately before it. This programme spoke to former women spies who had been in France sending back information and blowing up trains etc – giving their real life experiences. They spoke of the humility they felt when they realised that at worst they would be caught and shot, but the French people were risking everything, their own lives, that of their families and their livelihood.

Hope springs eternal Advantages: Interesting take on the ordinary lives of people during WW2 Disadvantages: Changes in accents make it difficult to follow at times When Charlotte Gray meets and falls in love with a young airman, Peter, she should have her entire life to look forward to. However, it is World War 2 and her fiance very soon goes to France on a mission and goes missing. Determined not to give up hope, Charlotte applies for the Secret Service and is sent to France herself; ostensibly to help the war effort, but also to try and find out what has happened to Peter. Will her personal feelings get in ... ...Cate Blanchett was great as Charlotte Gray. She has a gentle, ethereal beauty that lends itself perfectly to this sort of role - a brave, but nevertheless human, woman in love. I liked the way that her character was shown to be infallible - all too often stories about the war concentrate on the bravery, but don't show the fear behind it all - yet Charlotte is clearly scared out of her wits at times. She is supposed to be Scottish, and speaks with ... sunmeilan 04.05.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Charlotte Gray (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?
