A quite beautiful piece of cinema. Wishing for a remastered, anamorphic widescreen release on DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Actor Not Okay Movie, September 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Priceless Beauty [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Chris is a very good actor but this was not the role from him. To say that he is a poor actor is not fair if you have seen Greystoke of Highlander. If he was a poor actor he would not make as many movies. They sell a lot overseas. This role was just okay not great. He is much better in suspense and action.

This review is from: Priceless Beauty [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Lambert (At the time anyway)needed to learn to relax and be himself in front of the camera. Lane on the other hand a consumate professwional did a crediclb ejob but couldn't rise above the material. Best performances were by J.C. Quinn(Whom we don't see enough of on the silver screen) and another actor whose name I can't recall except that his first name was Joaquin. Also in the credits you neglected to mention the son of Anthony quinn (Francesco). Finch(A multi-talented man) had a VERY limited budget to work with, a difficult fantasy to try & pull off and he also tried pushing the envelope a little using some blue screen work that I don't think he ever used. Plus, shooting in Rome is a little difficult. Everything has to be translated (And we know how much is lost when that happens). Carpenters and other workers are hammering and yelling when you are on a sound stage shooting a scene(They figure, what the hell, it's only going to be dubbed anyway). Now as much as I usually dread a 14 or 15 hour shoot back here in the good ole' USA in Italy(France also) they only shoot an 8 hour day, plus when you go through the catering truk for lunch they serve you a bottle of red wine with your lunch. Who the hll feels like working very hard after that. So, even though I wasn't knocked out by the film, having been involved with it from it's(almost) inception when we were going to shoot it in Mexico for a much smaller budget with Judd Nelson I must give Charles Finch (who happens to be the son of the late-great actor Peter Finch) a bit of praise for pulling this movie off, raising the money, getting it shot, edited and released. My hats off to him, it was a hard sell project to begin with. I assure you we will in the future see some wonderful films come out of him. Thak you very much-------J.C. Quinn e-mail: [e-mail]
