John Mills gives the stiffest of stiff upper lip performances. The scene where the mules are taken away to be shot always gets me.

I shall go without Mrs Sydney to watch Cameron's latest mega-buster, I will even don the stupid 3-D Elvis Costello spectacles and probably look like a right mongi, along with everyone else in the cinema

It had a few decent moments but its as dated as a five day old bottle of milk. James Mason makes more out of the cardboard villain, Lord Mandeville than either the scriptwriters or the original novellist had any right to expect. He really give the film what impetus it has: the frisson of mutual hatred between Mason's Mandeville and Phyliss Calvert's Fanny Hooper, their blood feud, is the centre of the plot, and the two players make this tension work well. Mandeville hates Fanny but also wants to seduce her: Fanny would cheerfully cut his throat, a strength of feeling quite interesting from an otherwise mild and forgiving character.

The film is commendably upfront about the sexual undercurrents of the story, dealing openly with the hypocrisy and plain lies which underpin ''respectability'' in the Victorian world. The deeply unlikeable mother and sister of the hero opine endlessly on the ''unsuitability'' of the heroine, constantly accusing her of being a woman of easy virtue, with only gossip to support this, when the real problem, as everyone knows and only the hero will say, is that she is illegitimate and has no money or high born relatives. In the end, the relationship is founded on the hero's unspoken but sincere contempt for his hypocritical female relatives. It's valuable as a social document of the brutal snobbery of those times, but not all that entertaining.

Watched it last night - barely reasonable quality off some cam rip in a warez site.

I liked the plot and it will be a massive hit with the effects and all... once again Cameron doesn't give a toss about directives from the studios about the duration... so just like the Abyss is long but worth of your time.
