Title: Lush and magnificent rendition
Product review: From its bizzare sense of humor to its deranged social structure, Mervyn Peake's masterpiece translates superbly in film. This is a wonderful satirical and poignant look at the narrow world of a dying hierarchy. Nothing is sacred, except honor. Christopher Lee's Flay enforces the great code with protective conviction. Pay close attention to the furious mutterings of Barqentine. He fires off some of the best curse-spitting tirades ever uttered. Celia Imrie's Gertrude is the epitomy of aloof negligence. Though every character is something of a caricature, each is portrayed with great attention to the affection and intention of the novel's author.
