Evelyn Waugh's A Handful of Dust is a masterpiece. Unfortunately, the actors in this movie doesn't give strong performances. I am not saying they are not fine actors in other movies, but I am saying that the roles each of them play in A Handful of Dust is unbelievable and weak. Even that little boy who plays the snotty son wasn't casted properly for his role. And, even when the actors smoked it looked liked they were merely acting.
It's a shame. The filming, background, clothes, speech, etc., etc., are all excellent. Too bad the acting wasn't as good.
I am sorry. I cannot recommend this movie. I don't think Evelyn Waugh would be too happy with the performances of the actors and actresses of his book.
