Good film, but seems too long.

Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2001)

This is one of American Movie Classic's favorite films. They run it on a very regular basis. It's a beautifully shot movie that shows a fascinating part of British history. Unfortuantly, it seems to go on forever. I know the running time is only 134 minutes, but I have never watched this film all of the way through. Instead, I seem to watch 30 minutes here and 20 there and finally saw the entire film after probably a dozen times of overlapping bits. You just get fatigued after a while. And, you know it will be back on a dozen times in the month, so you don't worry too much about missing it.
