Count Tibor Rakassyi:
[Aloud to all at the table] Do you hear that, duck?
[Rhetorically to the duck]
Count Tibor Rakassyi: If you're out there on the last day flying over me, I can tell you, you haven't a hope. Bang, bang, and it will all be over!
[laughter from the diners]
Osbert Nettleby: If you kill her, I will kill you!
Ellen: [Shocked] Osbert!
Count Tibor Rakassyi: Oh, you will, will you? How do you propose to do that, may I ask?

I purchased this film just by chance as it seemed interesting. I had to view this title twice to get the picture so to speak. I have never heard of this production before so did not know what to expect. After viewing with a decent bottle of wine, I found the film thoroughly enjoyable with the all star cast. I was sorry to learn that this film was James Mason's last. A good performance by all the cast especially by the stunningly beautiful Judi Bowker (Olivia) who I can just remember as a sickly teenager in the TV series Black Beauty. So, was the DVD worth buying?? Answer is yes. I will even visit the location which is Knebworth house which was unknown to me.
