VHS Movie Reviews of Have His Carcase (Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries) [VHS]

Movie Review: Sayers Might Be Pleased
Summary: 4 Stars

Yes, Ian Carmichael created an inimitable Lord Peter. Petherbridge is wise enough not to attempt an imitation. He creates a somewhat different but fully acceptable version of the Master Amateur Sleuth. Harriet Walters pairs quite well with him, as Harriet Vane, showing us an attractively interesting face and superior acting skills. Together, the pair make the somewhat complicated plot of Have his Carcase, easy to live with. The UK production people and feature players are, as usual, first rate. The period flavor is a visual and musical delight, as it almost almost is in these series. (See if you catch one of Al Jolson's hit place name songs from the dance orchestra.)
Over-all, a leisurely four episode feature that should give fans of British TV mysteries pleasure.

Summary of Have His Carcase (Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries) [VHS]

The great Lord Peter Wimsey embodies amateur sleuthing at its best in Have His Carcase. Dorothy L. Sayers's impeccable plotting, wry humor, and touching fondness for her favorite characters all shine in this perfect adaptation of her novel. Wimsey's special friend Harriet Vane (Harriet Walter), fresh from a murder trial of her own, tries to get away from it all and ends up stumbling over a freshly killed body. Unable to resist a crime (or, for that matter, Harriet), Wimsey is soon on the case. Edward Petherbridge is perfect as Wimsey, revealing his brilliance and allowing him to be hopelessly in love without ever damaging his dignity. Walter plays Harriet with rich nuance, saying as much with her silences as she does with her lines. Most fun is Richard Morant as the astonishingly resourceful Bunting. The mystery spools out over four episodes, and very satisfyingly too. --Ali Davis
