Lifeless and dull yarn about antiques
12 February 2021
This is a tedious and frankly dull second feature film about antiques dealer, Peter Finch, hoping to hit the jackpot by searching for genuine antiques which he can buy and then sell on for a very handsome profit. The storyline, with Finch as an antiques dealer hoping to get rich never gets out of second gear. The problem is that the characters are not just one dimensional, but they just seem to casually appear and disappear without rhyme or reason. Finch, an outstanding actor, is wasted in this film, as he's required to do no more then play a low energy and bland antiques dealer, and despite all the best efforts of Alfie Bass, Finlay Currie, Adrienne Corri and Rosalind Crutchley, they fail to breathe life into a limp, feeble and uninteresting storyline. The script is the problem since there's simply not enough going on in the way of twists and turns to engage the interest of the audience. A very disappointing and dull film.
