 Rating: - Genghis CohnThe minute that KNME, a PBS station, in Albuquerque, New Mexico aired this movie back in 1995, I knew I had to have it.

Add performances by Robert Lindsay and Antony Sher, neither of whom know any other way to act but brilliantly, and this becomes a very palatable moral tale. Throw in a supporting role by Diana Rigg, and surely by now you're asking ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
