"Robert Louis Stevenson's St. Ives," a BBC film with Jean-Marc Barr,
Miranda Richardson, Richard Grant, and Anna Friel. I often find Robert
Louis Stevenson's swashbucklers, taken straight, to be so excessive as
to be absurd. This production goes right ahead and, while still
providing nonstop adventure, intentionally takes the humor right over
the top. The production values are excellent, though you do have to be
prepared for a balloon that takes off without the gas being heated by
anything, and, though the film is set in the Napoleonic era, hearing
later background music such as Offenbach's can-can (for a galloping
horse scene). What the heck. I was laughing the entire time.
