![]() ![]() What stands this costume piece apart is the astonishing radiance of the exquisite Rosamund Pike. Alan Bates is great fun as the sewer hating head of house who makes ingenious use of a bureau drawer to soothe his volatile temper. ![]() And the whole period is lavishly recreated and technically superb. It's a superb insight into the foibles and eccentricities of that most fortunate of social groupings - the English aristocracy of the inter-war period where fascism masqueraded as inherited privilege. But forgive me - I'm in love !! Of course "Love in a Cold Climate" has more going for it. Some may find this comment lacking in gravitas or even frivolous. You'll rarely encounter such photogenic beauty on film. ![]() But Rosamund Pike (as Fanny) is utterly spellbinding. This is generally brilliant entertainment even if the political bits are clichéd and pointless esp the Spanish War scenes. ![]()
