Victory (1996)
a really limp love story
At no time in this film was there any depth of emotion expressed. That lack of feeling made it dreary to watch the story unfolding and becoming more and more boring instead of more and more interesting. The score was something out of the banality of several Hallmark movies and the way Peploe shot Irene Jacobs playing the violin was like somebody from the student newspaper was given a video camera for the first time. The terrific actors who were cast in this limp love story ( Conrad is repulsed by this movie version of his splendid novel, he shouts from the grave)have found their all time low. Lastly the editing was so jerky and dumb at times that I wondered if it was chopped up like that by an angry producer who could see he would never get a good return on his investment.
