Fine copy with original artwork. Zeffirelli, who knew Callas well, directs this discordant drama about the supposed last days of Maria Callas who is seen popping pills while listening to her old recordings. A fictional gay character who is producing a rock concert in Paris--for a group jokingly called "Wet Dreams"--visits his old friend, Maria. Fanny Ardant, who plays her, does fairly well, although anyone who has seen the real conversations Callas had with Lord Harewood will not confuse the very elegant and intelligent woman shown there with Ardant's portrayal. As for Jeremy Irons as the producer, well there is his pony-tail.

London: BBC Worldwide, 2003. DVD Movie. Fine copy/fine. DVD movie. 2 disc set. 234 minutes. Coded for regions 2 (Europe) and 4 and recorded in the PAL format, but playable on some DVD machines and in most computers. Starring Tom Hollander, Samuel West, Rupert Penry-Jones, Toby Stephens. Written by Peter Moffat without any semblance to historical truth. The film, about four students at Cambridge University in the early 1930s who became committed communists and spied for the Soviets, is a travesty. The real stories about Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess are much more compelling and interesting than is shown here. Fortunately, each of them has often been written about, and the truth is widely known.
