The tale is a dreary and nonsensical affair.
The screenplay proves a tiresome, protracted bore.
The dialogue is insipid and trite.
Performances are utterly devoid of vitality.
The production values, however, are quite lavish.
The locales are top-notch.
The sets and their adornments are simply splendid.
The costumes are exceptionally fine.
The makeup is rather pleasing.
Cinematography is nothing short of remarkable.
The lighting is impeccable.
Alas, the direction feels hopelessly antiquated.
Its a mixed bag of splendid visuals and dreary narration not recommended for viewing.
****4****
