This is on as I type. I have just happened upon it while channel surfing. My God it is worse than appalling. How actors like Edward Woodward, Malcolm McDowell, and Candice Bergen got suckered into this is beyond me. Rupert Everett is an awful actor and deserves nothing better, but the others!! It really is beyond awful and nothing about it has the ring of authenticity. The script must have been written by that limitless number of monkeys that everyone talks about. It does actually go to show that good actors are only really as good as the material they have to work with and no- one comes out of this smelling of roses. A friend of mine taught Everett as a teenager and liked him but I think he is a minor talent who looked good as a youth but has nothing to offer as a mature actor. There is absolutely nothing to recommend this as a film not even a " so bad it is good" kind of recommendation-it is merely an embarrassment.
