      Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Peter Ustinov is excellent as the insecure Prince of Wales. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 29, 2020 Full Review Virginia Graham The Spectator The others, though well directed by Curtis ' Bernhardt, accompanied by Richard Addinsell's music, and lovely to look at, are of medium quality only.

      Audience Member Just one reason to watch this: Liz Taylor. Otherwise, it's just another lavish costume drama with only a tenuous connection to historical fact. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A film that was honestly unsatisfactory. Beau Brummel is a film that I didn't not enjoy despite Elizabeth Taylor's well done performance. I just thought the flawed historical inaccuracies in this rubbish were highly unacceptable. Beau Brummel is a pretentious poppycock of a film all because of the reckless historical inaccuracies. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review ashley h Beau Brummell is an amazing film. It is about Captain George Brummell of the 10th Royal Hussars Regiment who offends the Prince of Wales with his straightforward outspokenness and gets fired from the army. Stewart Granger and Elizabeth Taylor give excellent performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Curtis Bernhardt did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Fancy, plush drama which hews a bit closer to actual history than most historical films of the time. Beautiful costumes, Elizabeth is ravishing and the cast includes an astounishingly young Rosemary Harris. Granger is fine in the lead but the best performance comes from Peter Ustinov. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review s r "I'm absolutely famished, i've had nothing today but a partridge and some miserable scones." this is how Ustinov started the film, a hilarious start to the Elaborate, beautiful and engaging film that was hollywood at its golden age. Perhaps this is also ustinov's finest performance in telling his relationship with brummel and how they fell apart then later reconciled. Great sets, acting, direction, music and costumes. Granger was great. Liz taylor was satisfactory, but her accent distracted. I enjoyed the use of the wales plumes insignia throughout the movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member so so period piece costume pic Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
