Product: Beau Brummell - This Charming Man (2006)
Rating: 5.0
WORTH THE WAIT !
You can't read other's reviews if there AREN'T ANY! Amazon did not even have this movie yet so I had to purchase it from Amazon.com.uk! So the "voting buttons" are missing. How snitty amazon can be! Period dramas are my favorite type of movie. James Purefoy (Rome,Vanity Fair, Mayor of Casterbridge, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Mansfield Park)is one of my favorite actors, so this movie was destined to be a favorite! Historically it is of great value. Just think, if it weren't for Beau Brummel, our men might still wear ruffles. The most excellent supporting cast includes Hugh Bonneville(also of Mansfield Park)and Matthew Rhys. My only complaint is that this movie is too short. I am sure this story deserves more than it's length of only 79 minutes and someone should be "horse whipped" or at least ashamed of the stunted state of this production. Now, if we might only be able to purchase "Blackbeard" starring James Purefoy, on DVD as well! One may only hope! UPDATE: Blackbeard is finally now available in this country,a National Geographic production.
