DVD Reviews of The Queen's Sister
DVD Review: Choice was yours, ma'am
Summary: 3 Stars
A tragic comedy of a talented vibrant female's life wasted with personal both thirst for publicity and illusions of superiority inherited.
A little if at all, compassion this always second-to-fifth-in-line triggered in a commoner watching a princess's story.
DVD Review: Full satisfaction
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm quite used to buy from amazon.com.Besides quality of script, shooting and acting I'm very satisfied with this purchase moreover the eficiency of delivery (fast and safe).I do recommend amazon.comDVD Review: The Queen's Sister
Summary: 5 Stars
Agreat deal of sympathy for Armstrong -Jones. If the facts are true, then the princess needed to learn a lesson.Excellent portrayals by Toby Stephens who captured the nuances of a bitter man and Lucy Cohu was
outstanding in the role. It has been described as a romp and I'm sure both
actors really enjoyed the spaghetti scenes in Tony's flat.
DVD Review: Interesting History of Princess Margaret+Bonus Material
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was a pleasant surprise. It was well-acted and well-made and accurate. It traces the history of Queen Elizabeth's younger sister, whose sad private life was played out publicly on the world stage. It chronicles her behavior, the drugs, wild parties, free sex etc. that always landed Princess Margaret in the headlines and as the major source for embarassing the British Royal Family in the generation preceding Princess Diana.
The DVD has a fascinating movie about a prior Royal scandal that involved Princess Caroline of Brunswick and her unhappy union with George, one of Margaret's ancestors. This was almost even better than the Queen's Sister. Don't miss it on the DVD.
DVD Review: Great two-for-one deal
Summary: 4 Stars
Not knowing anything about the actual life of Princess Margaret may have had it's advantage when I watched this film. I liked it quite a lot, as a view into how different the life of a royal really is. Margaret is so impressed with herself and her status in this movie that you sometimes want to reach in the screen and strangle her as she demands special treatment from everyone. The best part is that she doesn't seem to even realize she's inconveniencing people because she truly believes it is her birth right. Her marriage is doomed by a husband who really just wants to be normal. The film comes to a close after Margaret hits rock bottom, and learns to appreciate a quieter life. I really enjoyed the look of this movie with lots of great clothes and ultra glamorous '60s and '70s nightclubs. The over the top Margaret is a lot of fun to watch, especially in her free spirited youthful days.
The great two-for-one comes to us in the bonus feature "A Royal Scandal". A compact and enjoyable film about another spunky royal, Caroline of Brunswick. I actually like this feature better than the title feature, as it is always very interesting to see such outrageous behavior in a historical figure. And for it's short length (about an hour) it tells the story very well.
This DVD is a good value with it's two movies. You are bound to be pleased with at least one if not both of them as I was.
