Title: Don't Accept Stolen Diamonds with Curses on Them!
Product review: The moral of the story is certainly one difficult to argue, and this film adaptation of Wilkie Collins' book is fantastic with lush filming, beautiful homes, excellent acting and an intriguing plot. English aristocracy was known for "correct" behavior at all times. One's reputation was of utmost importance. Damage to one's reputation could ruin one's life and worse-- this is the foundation of the unlikely but entertaining mystery that is at the center of The Moonstone.The characters are all well done and even the bizarre detective with his surety, sideburns, and affection for roses seems completely authentic. Both my husband and I enjoyed this film completely and recommend it highly. English upper-crust society was very much about the keeping up of appearances. Everybody keeps their appearances in The Moonstone until things go very much astray. Excellent.
