Madame Bovary

starring: Frances O'Connor, Claire Hackett, Adam Cooper, Hugh Bonneville, Eileen Atkins
directed by: Tim Fywell

Release Date March 13, 2006
Lets face it, Madame Bovary was always going to be difficult to produce. The story really centres around Dr Bovary, and Emma Bovary is his second wife, and you have to read about his first marriage until you get to Emma. Although I am a fan of Flaubert and Madame Bovary, as well as many others, I can also see where a large group of people are coming from when they say that this book is one of the most boring written.Madame Bovary (Penguin Classics) if you would like to read the book.

This production is not a straight transposition of the novel, opening as it does after Dr Bovary has lost his first wife. We see in this drama Dr Bovary getting Emma to become his second wife. Emma has been brought up spoiled by her father. Dr ... Read More:

Wonderful World of Brothers Grimm [1962]

starring: Laurence Harvey, Buddy Hackett, Otto Kruger, Walter Slezak, Oscar Homolka
directed by: Henry Levin

Release Date March 04, 1996
Don't expect 21st century effects, sex and gore. This 1960's movie is a great tale about the the authors of the stories from childhood. The dragon scene is mildly violent but it is a childrens/family film so don't expect anything that may give nightmares to little ones.

William And Mary [2003]

starring: Martin Clunes, Julie Graham, Cheryl Campbell, Dominick Baron, Michael Begley
directed by: Jean Stewart, Sandy Johnson, Stuart Orme

Release Date March 15, 2004
I've been a fan of Mr. Clunes since 'Men Behaving Badly.' He's great in this show as is Julie Graham. It shows just how hard it is to have a relationship these days while raising a family and having a career. But it also shows how fun it can be as well! I enjoyed series 2 just as much and am eagerly awaiting it's release!

Madame Bovary

starring: Frances O'Connor, Hugh Bonneville, Eileen Atkins, Desmond Barrit, Keith Barron
directed by: Tim Fywell

Release Date April 03, 2000
A dark, paradoxical portrayal of a young woman who deludes herself with passion and grandeur, but married into an insipid life with a boring doctor, starts a string of affair which ultimately bankrupts and ruins her. I wanted to believe the heroine a passionate, independent, good person who only made the mistake of marrying the wrong man (as many do) but could only think her cruel and unkind to her devoted husband, vain, ignorant and very stupid. Frances O'Connor's performance was fluid and deserves no censure, but all in all, the film was very disappointing, and the soundtrack too satirical for my liking.
