Sidney James and Kenneth Connor star in this Classic British 'haunted house' comedy. The foolishness begins when the family members of the supposedly dead madman, Uncle Gabriel, are summoned to the reading of his will. Ernie Broughton (Kenneth Connor) and Syd Butler (Sidney James) gather with the rest of this motley bunch in a lonely mansion. With all the classic trappings of a comedy whodunit, Ernie and Syd keep the laughs coming as mysterious bumps in the night unfold into a bizarre but sinister series of murders.

Based on the Henry James novel, The Golden Bowl earns a regal place in the long line of lavish Ismail Merchant and James Ivory productions casting spectacular mise en scne in the lead role. The crumbling Italian palazzo that opens the film and the magnificent English country houses that encase the unfolding drama play, as always, an intrinsic part in the ruptured psyche of whatever gentry Merchant and Ivory have elected to pursue. In this case, divided attention is paid to erstwhile glories and turn-of-the-century ambitions. Impoverished Italian prince Amerigo (Jeremy Northam) is to marry heiress Maggie Verver (Kate Beckinsale), school friend of Charlotte (Uma Thurman), who in turn weds American industrialist and art collector Adam Verver (Nick Nolte), Maggie's father. Amerigo and Charlotte, having previously been lovers, are helpless to resist an adulterous affair. A study of life's covetous designs failing to imitate the perceived perfections of art, The Golden Bowl is likewise flawed but alluring. --Fionn Meade
