It all depends on what you are looking for in a movie and your susceptibility level.  I'm an old movie fan and abhor the blatant fare provided today.  Some may call this hypocritical, and this film no doubt skims lightly over a very important moral issue.  However, in this case, I could just enjoy some of what I particularly enjoy from older movies -- beautiful houses, furniture, some of the English based to-do, clothes and all of that.  Old movies are particularly illusionary in providing this without the nasty realism of modern days that has a way of getting into your gut.  And please keep in mind that modern movies generally have the illicit lovers triumph, not what happens here.  The light touch is part of the appeal of the older ones. It's entertainment, always a bit of a fantasy.  I do know the difference between that and reality. Beautiful people in a beautiful setting involved in an absurd farce. If you really can't help being drawn off the straight and narrow by such a thing now and again, then by all means, be responsible to yourself and avoid.

On another note, I remember hearing this was panned by critics at the time of release, so have kind of remembered it that way, though did enjoy the overall spectacle on a rerun a while back.  True, it was not the high water mark in acting for any of the performers.  But, going back to it now, it is still very entertaining and I am glad I have it to enjoy the strong production values and some of yesterday's stars in a glamor bit together.  Jolly good fun actually.  Best not taken too seriously.

As far as the product goes, this was a used copy I took a risk on and it proved worth it.  Very crisp, clear, vivid resolution with smooth playing.
