3.0 out of 5 stars Billington saves it, April 17, 2000

This review is from: Man Who Made Husbands Jealous [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Culled from the Jilly Cooper novel of the same name, "The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous" left me wanting to read the book again -- it's far better. Although Stephen Billington is a perfect choice as Lysander, I suppose it's just impossible to condense 700 or so pages into 3 "episodes" as this video does and maintain a true sense of the original story. There was obviously a lot cut out, both in terms of scenes and characters, from the book. Most irritatingly, Lysander is now a tennis pro instead of the polo-playing, basically career-less individual he is in the novel. I can't imagine enjoying this film if you aren't a huge Jilly Cooper fan -- I would find it very confusing had I not read the book first.
