5.0 out of 5 stars A Masters in Murder, November 20, 2006

This review is from: Inspector Morse - Death Is Now My Neighbour [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Of the 33 entries in the Inspector Morse series this can easily be rated in the top ten. There are so many wonderful episodes making it very difficult to rank them - never the less, I have made an attempt and this one is my number 4. It provides a whacking good plot involving murder, blackmail and sex. Among Morse's dilemmas is his romantic interest, who may be a suspect, whom Morse is secretly hoping is an innocent bystander - she is - and Morse has one of his few successful relationships. There are outbursts from the curmudgeon, but precious little cultural additions to the story for flavor; little opera and no art whatever. However even without the icing the plot is so strong it compensates very nicely. As a bonus after 31 episodes we learn Morse has a first name: "Endeavour." This is vintage Morse, without the topping. If you haven't seen it, make it your next choice

5.0 out of 5 stars lust and ambition, August 23, 2004

This review is from: Inspector Morse - Death Is Now My Neighbour (DVD)

This entry in the Morse series is thoroughly entertaining, as it blends elements of unbridled ambition, lechery, blackmail, revenge, and other forms of unprincipled behavior. Essentially, the plot revolves around competition for the candidacy of college master--- a position soon to be reluctantly vacated by the incumbent, Clixby. It is fascinating to watch as one of the main characters (with a homicidal past) resorts to extreme measures (double murders) to ensure that her philandering husband ascends to the master's position. The character of the current master (Clixby) is equally villainous--- seducing a candidate's wife with the false promise that he will ensure her husband's selection as master. One of the more uncharacteristic features of this entry is that Morse actually embarks on a successful romantic relationship. All things considered, this is a splendid mystery, especially since solving the case ultimately hinges on small mistakes by the conspirators (consumption of a regular rather than a diabetic diet). In the final analysis, a certain justice prevails in that none of the main characters escape significant negative consequences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mystery and Love, December 28, 2000

By 

"cleller2" (South Caroline) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inspector Morse - Death Is Now My Neighbour [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Inspector Morse shines in this film, as always. There is a slight twist at the end, and we have a rare glimpse of romance for Morse. The main characters have complicated love lives which all seem to intertwine and make the story very interesting. Morse is his staight-forward self, staying focused and solving the mystery at the end. very good viewing.
