Gosford Park Trailer

What a horrible trailer for such an incredible film.

"Who does it in the end?"
"I couldn't tell you that, it would ruin it for you."
"Oh, none of us will watch it."
haha Maggie Smith is legendary

Lots of good actors in this movie, worth a watch you will not be dissapointed.

***What is the name of the song playing at the beginning?***

Yes I agree, although for me, Stephen Fry ALMOST did that on his own, anyway! I thought he was so terribly miscast in this, and nearly - but not quite - ruined this great film. His 'performance' would have suited something more like an old Ealing style comedy, fine, but definitely not this. Apart from that, it must surely be one of those very rare situations where having so many very talented, big name performers doesn't ruin the end product. Anyone else agree, especially re. S.Fry's role?!

APRIL: Fry is one of two things that I think kept this film from being perfect and this is coming from somone who generally loves Fry's work. :)

But yes I agree, it's amazing how many actors there were and yet still managed to be a finely balanced work.

Thanks for replying. I do respect S.Fry's intelligence, and recognise that he's a very popular performer. I wonder, if he sees himself 'evolving' into a kind of Peter Ustinov or Kenneth Williams raconteur type. Perhaps. I wouldn't put him in their league, myself. Still, I have to say, I thought his turn on 'Who Do You Think You Are?', one of the best yet. Very moving. He certainly seems a very genuine type too. Oh, and what was the other thing that for you, kept this film from being perfect?

A few suggestions for: 'the other thing that (might have) for you (and me!) kept this film from being perfect'! How about Meredeth getting hot MILK down his front?! Or perhaps Cook failing to slip that dreadful american, Weissman, some minced grouse (feathers 'n' all!)? What about Mary missing a wonderful opportunity to strangle the awful Constance, with that damn shirt she'd so carefully washed and dryed?! But then 'after all, what purpose could it possibly serve?'! Well, we'd have enjoyed it?!

APRIL: There is a scene between a maid and the Commander, the 'Jam scene' if you remember. ;) It goes along alright, but then it sort of became a bit cheezy near the end of the scene.

NGS712 - Yes, quite outrageous! Hope the jam wasn't of the 'bought' type! That would have been so ' VERY feeble'! Just SUPERB dialogue all round, eh? Well, next stop for me, 'A Room With A View'. More SUPERB dialogue! I simply must dash now, I have an appointment with a 'hot glass of milk' - and her ladyship does have her 'needs', you know! Toodle pip!

P.s. Re. the milk reference in my previous comment, of course I meant Denton, not that insufferable, little American, Meredith, although....!
