More Hollywood than England, but still good for a dark and stormy night
5 January 2008
Gig Young, not looking like Gig Young stars in an okay version of the Wilkie Collins story about the strange goings on around an English manner house where Count Fosco is up to no good and the title person is floating about. More Hollywood than England this is an okay time killer that wildly condense down a very large book. Part of the problem that prevents full enjoyment is that all of the accents are all over the place, none of which are anywhere near England. Moving along at a good clip the film keeps you interested but doesn't break any new ground. Being familiar with the tale I came and went while it was on and never felt I missed anything. Worth a look for those dark and stormy nights
