Ordeal By Innocence (1984) Available on region 2
DVD
Synopsis: Mediocre screen
version of an Agatha Christie potboiler, about an explorer returning to England
after two years in the Antarctic to find a man he knew on a murder rap from
which he might have saved him. Donald Sutherland, Christopher Plummer, Faye
Dunaway, Sarah Miles and Ian McShane head the sort of bi-national cast that
Hollywood hires when it wants to sell England to the Americans.
All act
on autopilot, especially Sutherland, who looks as bemused as the audience about
what an amateur American sleuth is doing in a Devon village. Equally out of
place is Dave Brubeck's jazzy score.
Cast:Donald Sutherland, Faye
Dunaway. Runtime: 90 min
