Title: Casanova - Masterpiece Theater
Review: David Tennant is hilarious as Casanova. I caught sketches of this on TV Masterpiece Theater, and wanted to see the whole thing, so ordered it. There are several bawdy scenes in it, or it wouldn't be Casanova, but it's all done in fun and good taste. It's certainly a different "take" on the legend, and seeing him with his son, who appears out of the blue after one of his escapades, is funny. The boy doesn't talk, just looks, but at least is a good-looking child - UNTIL he grows up. Then the young man who plays the young man is repulsive as he has now lost his good looks by the process of growing up. Peter O'Toole as the wistful older Casanova is quite believable, mourning his lost love. Laura Fraser is always good. I now have Hamlet with David Tennant, which I have not watched, but am curious as to his comic take on Shakespeare.
