Member Movie Reviews Sharon F. (Shar) from AVON PARK, FL Reviewed on 9/20/2022... Maggie Smith was beautiful and brilliant in this movie but it wasn't to my taste.
Movie ReviewsMaggie Smith steals the Show. Gerard D. Launay | Berkeley, California | 08/23/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "When one gets tired of the violence, sex, and quite frankly, impermissible bad language in modern films, it's nice to go back to someone who knows how to use language. eg. George Bernard Shaw. This movie was done (poorly) with Sophia Loren and Peter Sellers...but I adored the play with Maggie Smith. Oh...how she dominates her role. At once, we understand how magnificent a star she is. She plays the richest woman in England who is obsessed with getting what she wants, and having the cash to do it. She is beautiful and arrogant yet brilliant in the ways of capitalism. When she is given the challenge of getting a job and supporting herself without her wealth, well, she can do it because she understands money. Indeed she walks into businesses and transforms them into profitable enterprises. Whether the impact of her changes hurts the poor or middle class is of no concern to her...profitability is the key. This is a wonderful production and is a MUST for any Maggie Smith fan." Bernard Shaw's The Millionairess DVD Pamela G. Maher | Baltimore, MD | 04/16/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "I've always been a huge fan of Maggie Smith, and she is wickedly good as Epifania Ognisanti di Parerga Fitzfassenden, The Millionairess. Jeez, what a mouthful. My complaint, which doesn't entirely spoil the film, is the mediocre quality of the BBC production. The sound is a trifle off, and it feels like it's taking place on an echoey stage, which it is. Having said that, Maggie's performance is tremendous, and almost overcomes the spotty production." Maggie steals the show Michal Zahálka | The Czech republic, Europe | 07/30/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Millionairess has always been one of my favorite plays by Bernard Shaw (along with Pygmalion and Caesar and Cleopatra) and this BBC production of it is definitely worth your money.
Dame Maggie Smith is absolutely perfect as Epifania and, as expected, steals the show and runs away with it. The rest of the cast is perfect as well, with the possible exception of Charles Gray as Adrian, who didn't really fulfil my expectations of the character." |
