I have never heard of this movie, and when I thought about it, I realized that I've hardly seen Christopher Plummer in any older movies, except The Sound of Music. The others are more recent -- Dolores Claiborne, A Beautiful Mind, and Knives Out. I would like to see him in some other works, though!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493001808546059821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-124482348618946002022-12-11T18:19:57.905-03:002022-12-11T18:19:57.905-03:00I agree with the previous commenter who said Chris...I agree with the previous commenter who said Christopher Plummer could wear any kind of costume and not look ridiculous. As for this film, I've never come across it, but it if has Christopher P AND Orson Welles in it, I've gotta see it.<br /><br />Terrific review as always, Le!Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-65679287261286145752022-12-11T16:15:08.251-03:002022-12-11T16:15:08.251-03:00Christopher Plummer was one classically-trained ac...Christopher Plummer was one classically-trained actor who could take on any role - Shakespeare, Greek myth, contemporary drama, costume drama, you name it -- be perfectly natural in it and end up being the best thing about the movie. It looks like this production took advantage of Plummer's theatrical background -- and it helps that he could pull off ancient costumes, togas, etc., and not look ridiculous.

I love the casting so will definitely have to check this one out - I do love Orson Welles (even if he is just chewing scenery) so this does sound one to watch. Thanks again.Realweegiemidget Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112425802962283173noreply@blogger.com
