    Storyline

    Edit
    Set in the 1930s, the story takes place in an old-fashioned English country house where a weekend shooting party is underway. The story centers on the McCordle family, particularly the man of the house, Sir William McCordle (Sir Michael Gambon). Getting on in years, William has become a benefactor to many of his relatives and friends. As the weekend goes on, secrets are revealed, and it seems that everyone, above stairs and below, wants a piece of William and his money, but how far will they go to get it? —Ashley <AMTOT@aol.com>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The camera is always moving (if only slightly) in every shot as requested by producer and director Robert Altman.
    • Goofs
      The movie takes place in 1932 but some of the songs Ivor Novello sings for the guests didn't come out until years after, like "Glamorous Night" (1935), "Why It Wasn't You" (1937), "I Can Give You a Starlight" (1939) and "Waltz of My Heart" (1939).
    • Quotes

      [Morris Weissman is asked about his upcoming movie project]

      Lady Sylvia McCordle: Mr Weissman.

      Morris Weissman: Yes?

      Lady Sylvia McCordle: Tell us about the film you're going to make.

      Morris Weissman: Oh, sure. It's called "Charlie Chan In London". It's a detective story.

      Mabel Nesbitt: Set in London?

      Morris Weissman: Well, not really. Most of it takes place at a shooting party in a country house. Sort of like this one, actually. Murder in the middle of the night, a lot of guests for the weekend, everyone's a suspect. You know, that sort of thing.

      Constance: How horrid. And who turns out to have done it?

      Morris Weissman: Oh, I couldn't tell you that. It would spoil it for you.

      Constance: Oh, but none of us will see it.

    • Crazy credits
      The cast credits at the end are separated between above stairs, visitors and below stairs, arguably listed in order of status within the British class system.

    Top review
    An excellent period film with an outstanding cast.
    This Robert Altman film is one of the best movies of the last decade. The main plot and many sub-plots appear slow to most uninitiated people, but to those who understand the British class system and its demise will find this a truly gripping and amusing film. The performances by the mainly British cast is vastly superior to that which would be given by our American friends.

    Maggie Smith deserves a special mention for her outstanding performance as the aged leech Aunt, and the timing of her lines is immaculate.

    The only criticism I have of the cast is............why Stephen Fry?? Hugh Laurie would have been more suited to this role.

    Rating 10/10.
