Absolutely fantastic

You can read the other reviews for the plot outline. Superb acting and fantastic plot outline and directing. Everyone is believable. Maggie Smith gives an exceptional performance, and the intertwined yet distanced relationships between the upstairs and downstairs inhabitants is perfection. Clive Owen (Parks) and Kelly MacDonald (Mary) are fantastic, and their small, rather chaste kiss was only an almost-satisfying culmination of their friendship/romance. However both their characters were supremely well-acted. Emily Watson plays Elsie to a T...completely believable, superbly acted. The costumes, sets, and every detail were wonderful...everything believable. Jeremy Northam singing was a delightful surprise and bonus to the film. A complete success...an intricate, interesting study of reactions, relationships, and snobbery. Gosford Park epitomizes quality movie-making, with about the best cast imaginable.

Gosford Park

This is a clever "Country Manor" mystery with some very fine actors in roles quite different from their ordinary ones. The look at 'below stairs' staff is most interesting.

Good mystery.

I love movies set in this era and I'm an avid mystery watcher. This movie is great.

Classy Classic

This well-directed film, Robert Altman's last, I believe, is rich and delightful in many ways. I almost feel that I am watching a documentary of the period between wars in the English country house. From the costumes to the cars and servants, the details are right on.
Maggie Smith and Derek Jacobi give remarkably fine perfomances. Actually, everyone does, even the funny almost over-the-top, Stephen Fry.
I enjoyed seeing this DVD at a friend's house and I knew I wante to view it again and again. So I was happy to find it reasonably priced at Amazon.
