Ken Russell's best film


The perfect balance of his earlier understanded emotional BBC films like Song Of Summer and his indulgant extravagant later work. One of his films that is moving as well as visually stunning. Really needs a remaster and Blu-Ray release.

Are you a Brit? I was in Mahler . While acting as Shirley Russell's assistant, I was asked to dress as one of the African Queens Companions.I was the one found outside the train loo after Mahler has his childhood flashback.It usually gets a laugh.
I'll tell Georgina about your comment next time we speak. Will be after Ken's funeral.

No - I'm from New Zealand.

Georgina Hale is my favorite actress and this is my favorite role of hers.
