Could have been so much better

Rating: 1/10 (30 April 2000)

The casting here was excellent, the performances on the whole very good, but alas the film itself I thought dire. The screwed up history of a period I've a great fondness for, meant that I just could not enjoy this film. It just left me wondering why? Why did the writers of this film think that their very inaccurate script would be more interesting and exciting than events as they actually happened?
