... she’s been living in the United States so long that her accent is no longer the true blue kind of accent you’d expect for an upper class. Someone like Geraldine James, would, I think, have been better in the role. “Relative Values” is a Noel Coward play, and the film is fairly reflective of this – the direction doesn’t offer many more adventurous scenes than the usual period piece, and most of it is bound to the kind of scenes you would have in the theatre, whether it’s a drawing room, dining room, a garden.

Relative Values (DVD): Comedy about the classes - but not that classy (884 words)

I acquired the DVD of “Relative Values” as a free gift with some magazine or other. I hadn’t heard of the movie at all, and it languished unplayed for a good few months. The cover claims that it’s “outstandingly funny”. And it boasts a good cast – with names like Colin Firth, Stephen Fry, Julie Andrews, and Jeanne Tripplehorn. So I last decided to give at a go. I found it very tedious, and too slow. I began to lose interest in the characters and the story after about 20 minutes, but I stuck the whole movie out. Overall, I thought it was very dull, superficial and not even very much fun. As for “outstandingly funny” – well, perhaps I’d go so far ... Read the complete review

Picture this. 1953 England. News of Nigel, Earl of Marshwood’s, engagement to a Hollywood star, Miranda Frayle breaks. Nigel’s mother, Felicity (Julie Andrews) tries not to let this disappoint her – she wanted better things for her son. Peter (Colin Firth), Nigel’s cousin, tries to calm Felicity down. She's throwing a party – but the older members of the village won’t let Felicity forget that Nigel (Edward Atherton) is marrying ‘beneath him’. As Felicity prepares to meet her son’s fiancee, the whole household starts to make plans for his return home. Moxie (Sophie Thompson), Felicity’s devoted maid, tries to give her notice in and, after further investigation, ... Read the complete review

I adore Noel Coward. All that brittle drawing room badinage, so terribly, terribly sophisticated. Anyway, a lovely little comedy of manners by The Master, skillfully adapted for the screen by Paul Rattigan and Michael Walker. It's around 1950, it's Summer, we're weekending at a stately old country pile. The Earl is bringing home his prospective bride to meet the family - a Hollywood actress! (Make that double Hollywood, heavy on the ego, hold the culture). The Fiancée, meanwhile, is also being hotly pursued, by a determined ex-lover. A slight sounding tale that doesn't even begin to hint at the delights in store. Brilliant ensemble ... Read the complete review
