A bland wallow, 12 November 2001
Author: lucy-66 from London

If you want to wallow in 80s blandness, dive into this movie. An updated Christie that already looks extremely dated. The hair! The make-up! And above all the cloooooothes! The heroine plays her big scene in a .... white crocheted top!!!!! One of the actors is Pamela Bellwood from Dynasty - get the picture? The climactic scenes are set in a cheesy restaurant with a tacky floorshow (I'd love to see the menu), and everybody's bedroom looks like a hotel suite. Actually, all involved do a good workmanlike job of telling the story and there's not a little humour provided by the likes of Aunt Lucilla and the tarty girl who's taken up painting by numbers. Will we ever wear scarlet sequins and navy eyeshadow again? xxxxxxxxx
