Kind of an empty and boring experience despite Peter O' Toole's great performance.

Overlong, indulgent, sloppy, and stagy, but it's razor-sharp critique of the twin pillars of conservative culture--religion and the upper classes--hits the mark often and surprisingly effectively. Not a movie you could make today, in any way.

It's like The Rules of the Game put on by Monty Python with a Shakesperian cast. If it didn't fall flat in the last act it would probably be my favorite movie ever.

An amazing satirical screenplay, and a tour-de-force acting by Peter O'Toole.. Highly recommended, espcially to who like Bunuel's late works like The Milky Way and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.

***1/2. Good adaptation of a play. The musical scenes and Jack's hallucinations are well inserted in the narrative. In 1972, the criticism of the British class system must certainly have shocked more the lambda viewer than in 2010. So let's rather focus on the cast's performance with a special mention to Peter O'Toole and Arthur Lowe. Recommended.

A strange, brilliant and very British satire with Peter O' Toole turning out one of his best performances.

Such a great performance from such a crap film. Director went on to helm "Species II".
