Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
