Lucky Jim (1957)
Unlucky viewers
This film is rubbish, a disappointment considering the pedigree of the cast and crew. Not funny in the slightest and a waste of time. Stick to the novel!
Fierce Creatures (1997)
Well-Meaning Movie Misses Its Target
Given that the central premise is shaky - animal-lovers resisting the commercialization of leisure time, in this case zoos? - this gentle, well-meaning film still ought to be a lot funnier than it is. It's quite cleverly written, chock full of funny actors and fierce creatures, but the whole thing comes across as a trifle half-hearted, especially amongst the supporting cast. The animals certainly play their part, but there ought to be more gags, really. Is the film trying to make a serious point? If so, it rather gets lost in the edit. Cleese reprises his Fawlty-esque persona to good effect and Kevin Kline is brilliant, as ever. But the whole is less than the sum of its parts. Maybe the director wasn't snappy enough? Still, it's all good fun - and on re-viewing seems rather better than the first time you saw it.
King, Queen, Knave (1972)
Amusing Gem of a Forgotten Film
Imagine a wilder, wackier, weirder European take on The Graduate and you get the general idea of the themes underlying this picture. Niven is his usual smooth, urbane self, but Gina is just magnificent: gorgeous to look at, sexy and hilariously funny too! It's pretty clear why this movie is less well known than some of the others its stars appeared in: it's almost the antithesis of a Hollywood blockbuster. There are strange interludes which don't really come off. It's not quite in the class of Harold and Maude, but worthy of comparison in many respects. This is really the kind of film you have to accept on its own level - a diverting caper without that much depth, but no less amusing for all that. It's probably more of a man's film, by which I mean simply that most women may not enjoy it all that much. But I could be wrong! Anyway I hope so, because it IS worth seeing.
