5.0 out of 5 stars If you like P.G. Wodehouse..., January 25, 2002

You'll love this marvelous adaptation of one of P.G. Wodehouse's Blandings Castle stories. Peter O'Toole is terrific as the rather foggy-headed, pig-loving Clarence, Master (sort of ) of Blandings Castle, and Richard Briers is Gally Threepwood come to life. Intimidating Sisters, young lovers, and Beach the Butler are all played to perfection. Tremendous fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Over the top, totally., April 30, 2005

This review is from: Heavy Weather [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Someone said elsewhere this movie was over the top (in a negative way) but they were right - it is "over the top". Released shortly after the Jeeves and Wooster series (Fry and Laurie, BBC) and riding that wave of Wodehouse popularity, it is star-studded and lushly produced. It is as ludicrous, preposterous and befuddled-funny as Wodehouse can be, and far better production quality than the old Wodehouse playhouse TV series. Classic and wonderful.

This review is from: Heavy Weather [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This 78 minute masterpiece is one of the most hilarious comedies ever produced. The casting is perfect; O'Toole is just one of several who exhibit how masterful English acting can be. The direction is flawless. Why on earth isn't this on DVD? My copy is a lousy VHS print from e-Bay. This production is better than 98% of the stuff currently for sale in the catalogues. Anglophiles arise!
