I guess I don’t like the costume drama stuff much, but I expected something more interesting from Robert Altman, who till now I hadn’t seen a less than brilliant movie by. I found this no more interesting or unique than the average TV Agatha Christie rip-off. There’s one or two interesting scenes, and of course you can’t go wrong with such a cast as this, the performances are fine, but to me it seemed to just plod onward, each scene indistinguishable from the next. Thank god for Stephen Fry, or I would’ve been really straining to get through the last half.
