4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Beau Brummel, December 30, 2000

One of Stewart Granger's classic movies. This is the way all movies should be. The good ole days of fancy costume movies are long gone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stew Granger is an excellent actor, BUT ..., February 11, 2007

... I didn't feel he was really into his performance in this movie, the way he was in 'Scaramouche'. This movie, for me, was just 'okay', not horrible, not great, just somewhere in between. I own this movie, and I will watch it again, but I must say I'm not in any particular hurry to do so. I would like for the 2006 James Purefoy version to show up on dvd. As for this version, I imagine it will be on dvd once Purefoy's version comes out.

Part of my problem with this movie is (and it is not the movie's fault) I'm not a big fan of Elizabeth Taylor. She's okay, but I just can't get thrilled with her for some reason. And, Stewie Granger just didn't put himself into this movie the way he did in 'Scaramouche', at least I didn't think he did. I just felt like he didn't care that much about this movie to bother putting in a noteworthy performance.

On the 1-10 scale, I'd put this movie somewhere between 6.5 and 8.0. Good, not bad, but not great or outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heartfelt tour de force!, April 10, 2006

This review is from: Beau Brummell [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Lavish British production that included a very impressive cast: the accurate profile of Stewart Granger, the always beautiful Elizabeth Taylor and the hesitating future George IV starred by Peter Ustinov.

An everlasting picture to watch and enjoy it over and over again.
