Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
amyleegee I really love this show - mainly due to the brilliant acting of Anthony Andrews who I believe was cast perfectly for this role. He played the role of the charming William perfectly... in my opinion his performance really makes Jewels a success. I liked Annette O'Toole also, but found her performance a little grating - especially in the labour scene which I thought was a little over the top. I preferred the first half of the series to the second half. I think that it turned into a bit of a soap opera to me with all their wayward children and their love lives :) I could watch the first half where William and Sarah first meet over and over though. Anthony's performance makes Jewels worth watching.
angelinastarr I was a kid when I saw this film and I thought it was wonderful. What little girl wouldn't enjoy watching a movie about fancy rocks and racy family members? I certainly did. My mother and I would watch this movie practically every weekend. Now that I am an adult, I realize that I have been deceived. How is it that most mini-series initially come out to be really great, but then a few years down the road, they turn out kind of crummy?!Character's actions. Some of the characters were just not believable. I thought that Sarah (Annette O'Toole) had the tinniest laugh when she meets William (Anthony Andrews) for the first time. At least he was a perfect gentleman and didn't say anything to her about it. O'Toole has a superficiality throughout the entire movie that I just wanted to squish. Then their child Philip. What an ungracious, spoiled brat! I'm sorry, but if I were in her shoes and escaping from the Nazi's, I'd say, "Take my child, not me" I have to say I enjoyed the château immensely and I don't blame the bad guys for moving into it and making it their headquarters. I have to say the only really good actors were William and the adult Phillip. They seemed to be the most enjoyable actors throughout the whole movie. I particularly enjoyed William while he was in his wheelchair and having all of those heart attacks. Then Phillip, he could run a harem the way he was running around town with that French Floozy. They should change the title of this film to "William and Phillip" as they kept me entertained.
Rosemary (zelda1964) I had seen the film many times and thought Miss O'Toole had a great performance. In the movie, the children grew to be snobbish and selfish. I felt that their mother was showing her devotion by bailing them out of every mess they got into. She sacrificed her wishes and desires for their well being and security. I feel that she was brave in war time and true to her Husband in his illness.
ehfr I enjoyed Bradley Cole in the movie and think that with his talent, he could have easily played the lead...he is a very versatile actor and can play many extremely different roles. He has played Shakespeare and can speak French fluently, along with many different accents. Does a great British accent.
