5.0 out of 5 stars A must see for serious film lovers, October 19, 2007

By 

Joseph Wilby (SAN ANTONIO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In a Shallow Grave [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For too long some of James Purdy's work has been unavailable, either ignored or neglected, but surprisingly his novel In a shallow grave was made into a film, which surprisingly considering Hollywood standards it was translated to the screen with the characters retaining the same feelings and sentiments from the written words, of course there were some changes along the way, but it is still a movie worth watching. This movie should have had a wider audience, but as it is with serious films as this one, it does take someone willing to embrace it with an open mind. The viewer wiil have the opportunity of finding an excellent film and also discover what a wonderful writer James Purdy is.

This review is from: In a Shallow Grave [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a beautiful novel, and leaps off the page - even so sometimes even such a work can become visually exciting as well - this film hits the mark in its subtle rendition of the marvelous story - hopefully Amazon.com with be able to get copies for all to enjoy. Andrew Toovey composer/UK

The acting in this was incredible, it doesn't make sense how this movie went unnoticed. Excellent video for your collection!
