Pros: Maggie Smith, Alan Bates, Helen Mirren and dozens of others.
Cons: too few to mention

Pros: Brilliant direction, setting, acting, photography and allegorical screenplay.
Cons: Altman's typical off-hand style and overlapping dialogue.
Summary: PRIME SUSPECT FOR THE OSCAR? As in the case of several films nominated for the Oscar this year, GOSFORD PARK causes some viewers and critics to clutch their forelocks and mutter, "Shallow, elitist and entirely unimportant!" Others are throwing ... read more
