DVD Recommendation:'Stiff upper Lips'
Sep. 8th, 2010 02:00 pmThis wonderful satire of the "Costume Drama" flicks of esp. 'Ivory Merchant'(pretty much any Jane Austen-based movie)Production House is definetely for those who've seen a few of them. Too many "In" jokes. All the stock characters are there: The Spinster Aunt, the Suffering Servant, the Serving Boy(though not very boyish...DAMN!, Old Maid(of 23), the Toff, the Closeted Homosexual..the works.
Empire British Priggishness and Bigotry at it's highest. One of my fav scenes is when they have the butler roll out English sod in Rome so that they can have a "proper" outdoor English Tea;>....
Cheers,
Pat
