CGiii Comment

Gilbert Adair is an acquired taste.

This outright ridiculous story is only watchable because of the irrepressible John Hurt - doing the best he can with substandard material.

Why anyone would want to adapt a horrible novel into a horrible film is beyond belief.

It really is terrible.

The(ir) Blurb...

Giles De'Ath is a widower who doesn't like anything modern. He goes to movies and falls in love with film star, Ronnie Bostock. He then investigates everything about the movie and Ronnie. After that he travels to Long Island city where Ronnie lives and meets him, pretending that Ronnie is a great actor and that's why Giles admires him.
