Romantic Comedy for the Silver Haired
5 Stars
What a fun movie! The acting was superb, the direction
spot-on. Like many British movies, I had to turn the volume up to hear (what is
it with their sound systems?), but it was oh-so-worth it! The story takes place
in a home for retired musicians, and I understand many of the actors are
retired musicians, which just adds another depth of delightedness. Pauline
Collins (Shirley Valentine) is wonderful as are the rest of the cast. There is
a love story in the background (yes, Victoria, old farts and fartesses still
love), as the home is trying to set up a concert for the locals to earn enough
money to keep the home going, and not have to charge residents. And the sound
track is to die for. This is a movie to own and to watch more than once.
