Movie Review by B Movie Ben

May 3rd, 2007

Helena Bonham Carter double feature

Helena Bonham Carter was outstanding in this Henry James tale of a woman who thought she had it all figured out.

Kate (Helena Bonham Carter) was in love with Merton (Linus Roache from Batman Begins), but she had to do what her Auntie (Charlotte Rampling) wanted because she had the bucks. Merton was just a poor journalist, so he wouldn't do.

Enter Susan (Elizabeth McGovern) a rich American, whom Kate finds out is dying due to the ramblings of a drunken sot (Alex Jennings) who needed money and had plans to marry her. Kate devises a plan where Merton gets Susan to marry him, she dies and he gets the money, and they live happily ever after.

You know it's not going to work. There always has to be something to muck it up. But, watching the plan come together and fall apart is a thrill. And, hey, you not only get to be enchanted by the superb acting of Helana Bonham Cater, but there is a special bonus for those that stay until the end.

Enjoy.
