Good Start - poor unwind - Doesn't endure

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2001)

The film is a must see since it was such an influence when released. It is fab to see Dustin and Ms.Bancroft make this picture work. But these are several liberties with plot logic to make this adventure work. The premise is set up in a compelling way. But the closure and sudden love interest are poor crafted.
Interesting, with charm. A classic, but not a great classic.
