3.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Film - Ignored by many and under rated, July 2, 2002

This review is from: Mr. North [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A delightful film! Anthony Edwards is supported by a tremendous cast of characters including Robert Mitchum, Mary Stuart Masterson, Anjelica Huston, Lauren Bacall, Harry Dean Stanton, and Virgina Madsen. Based on a novel by Thornton Wilder and directed by Danny Huston, the film, filmed on location in Newport, Rhode Island, captures the charm and innocence of the 1920s. Anthony Edwards carries this film and makes the film, which would otherwise be simply mediocre, come to life. A charming film well worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars You've gotta love this movie!, April 3, 2005

By 

Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr North (DVD)

Based on Thornton Wilder's novel THEOPHILUS NORTH, this is, in its own quiet way, a magical picture. It's about a young college man who gives off electrical charges from his body (an old parlor trick); he comes to Newport one season early in the 20th century and begins to transform people. There is an exuberance and optimism that rub off on these stuffy summer people, and they begin to come to life in a way they've never experienced before. And, of course, there are those electrical charges, which some residents swear to as having magical healing powers. As reality, this movie would never work, but it has a fairy tale quality about it that transcends believability and allows us to just enjoy the proceedings. Definitely worth a watch.

What a movie !!!! What a cast !!!! Anthony Edwards, Robert Mithchum, Mary Kay Place, Anjelica Huston, Harry Dean Stanton, Lauren Bacall and so many more..... What a great idea to have a novie that says to kids.....you can try something out once,but it may not work. If it does great but always be on the lookout for things not to work. It was great.
