What a travesty!!!
I looked forward to watching this, only to find that my valuable relaxation time was wasted!
It was a nice idea, badly - soooo badly - executed!
A mismatch, hotchpotch, in fact *mess* of old stock footage cuts, old movies depicting the turn of the century (I actually saw Olivia De Havilland at one point!), and awful editing with terrible filters... all clumsily and amateurishly put together.
Except for one actress (Darlene Sellers) the acting was terrible, with the *MOST PHONEY British accents I've EVER heard on film*!
The lead 'actor' (the old guy with *dubious* Bell's Palsy) really irritated me no end! He was obviously American, trying to put on a British accent... *and* failing miserably with his underlying twang!
Overall, an absolute exercise in bad production, bad direction, bad editing and even worse acting!
I'd realistically award this somewhere between a 2-2.5. However, the phoney accents and the old guy with the phoney Bell's Palsy... reduced this, for me, to a 1/10.
