Mistress of Paradise
(1981)

Anthony NOT a hammy actor
Okay, the movie is pretty bad. But to disparage Anthony Andrews is just plain ludicrous. He didn't write the story, he didn't direct the movie, he merely played a character in the movie. Apparently the person who commented previously hates Anthony Andrews for some strange reason. That is his or her problem. Anthony Andrews is a wonderful actor(see Brideshead Revisited, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Lighthorsemen and others). He does not deserve the abuse poured upon him. All actors make poor choices in movies and this just happens to be one of Anthony's. This movie is based on a Gothic novel. Having been into Gothic novels in my younger years, I can attest that they all have basically the same kind of plot line. This one is no exception. Even though the movie is rather poorly done, it's still worth a look if only for a chance to see Anthony Andrews.
