VHS Movie Reviews of Bonnie Prince Charlie [VHS]

Movie Review: Bonnie Dull Movie
Summary: 3 Stars

The film itself is impressive visually. But the story progresses slowly and is more atmosphereic. Jack Hawkins plays well as Lord Murrary, the leading Jacobite general. The clashes between him and the Prince over strategy are well portrayed in the movie. The battle of Prestonppans is well done. I wish they could have done the same for rest of the battles. Culloden is not even shown! The movie then drags considerable as we trace the progress of the Young Pretenders flight from Scotland. This part of the movie seems too long drawn out. Throughout the Prince is given almost saintly treatment. His relationship with Flora Macdonald is also too good to be true. For an English movie its surprising how the Bonnie prince is so favorably portrayed. The film willingly enters into all the Scottish fantasy and lore about him. Again, a pretty film, but too slow and stately.
