A PLEASING SURPRISE
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000
From: Elizabeth

My husband and I rented this movie hoping to see a well-done period comedy, nothing more, but at the end we were both exclaiming "What a great message!" While this film is mostly about honor, and what the characters will do to protect it, an even more powerful message becomes apparent : no one is perfect , and all of us are in need of grace." It is not the perfect but the imperfect who need love..." says the neer- do- well Lord Goring. A great discussion starter!
