Dalgliesh (2021)
a deeper portrayal of Dalgleish
Best cast Dalgleish yet. His
sympathy for human frailty is more evident than earlier portrayals. Subtle, yet warm, as
one would expect a poet policeman to be.
The Making of a Lady (2012)
very romantic, quite suspenseful
The romantic scenes in this movie are beautiful - tender and intimate, and both of the main characters are very appealing. I wish that there had been more development of Emily and James's relationship in the beginning of the film, because it is so compelling. Excellent acting and very believable portrayals of the two main characters and their positions in society, as they come together. The intense, 'horror' part of the movie is unsettling, but also well done. I think this movie would have been considered a great romantic drama if the scene at Emily's bedside after James's return from India had been stronger. He is such a likable character, but this scene falls short. The setting and costumes are also beautiful. Well worth watching for the love story and scenery, just not quite up to the mark for a classic.
A Dance to the Music of Time (1997)
Fabulous, gorgeous fun
Came across this when digging for something delicious to watch over a few winter evenings, and this more than fit the bill. This mini series is astonishing in its breadth and scope from the scenes in Venice to the stunning English country houses, the costumes, the drama, the sheer number of characters and the span of most of the twentieth century. Anybody who misses Downton Abbey should find their way to this exceptional drama about sex, ambition and friendships.
