3 1/2 charming silly sweet & stiff_everyone is good in this even the creeps_ i didn't guess who_so i was fooled_but i would have married the Isla_fun film
Old-fashioned 1930s style mystery that goes off in an unexpected direction. Sort of thing I loved back in the old "Late Late Movie" days.
Creepy, diverting, often over the top flick with a surprise ending that goes on too long; it nevertheless kept my attention, so I award it three stars.
The Lebanon's have been around since Cesaer it seems however there is a problem in the heir department. Seems the only son is barking mad as was his papa, so what to do about it. Well, marry him to the family secretary. Right. No. I don't think so. After a few murders the son has his shining moment to chew up the scenery and all comes to an end with the matriarch bemoaning about a thousand years and now zip. Too bad, all those royals are way too inbred anyway, lots of fruit cakes.
Stunning.
