wonderful,great looking, 16 April 2005

I am surprised how many people seem to hate this film. I am not a
Shakespeare expert,but I love history and the 1930s and 1940s are my
favourite period,so I love the way the our odd Royal Family is shown in
this film,we know that members of the royal family were pro fascist in
the 1930s so why not update the original story. The locations and the
production design are great and the acting is impressive throughout. As
for the comment about the murder in bed,it seems like a good plan to
me,if you were busy with a flight attendant you are not going to notice
an assassin under the bed. If you have not seen this I urge you to do
so,you can watch it as a war movie or as a version of the play.
