Title: Horrifying Failure
Product review: Flick is almost unwatchable for someone with an appreciation of acting and a sense of screenwriting and history. Zweig would have been better off by hitting the archives himself and not just relying on the faulty Girard letters and his amateur psychology. Shearer is plain unbearable with her constant sobbing and shrugging. It's painful to watch her at 35 trying to play a 14 year-old girl. Spending 3m and not shooting in Technicolor was another huge mistake MGM made. And it's really great to see Louis XVI and the "mob" both portrayed as retards. Thanks, Hollywood, now the French Revolution finally makes sense.
