Mr. North (1988)
9/10
A funny movie
25 February 2006
If you like thinking comedies this movie is for you, Harry Dean Stanton is like no Harry Stanton you've seen before. This is almost a parody on F. Scott Fitzgerald's work. The almighty upper-class with it's paranoia and superstitions as a backdrop to this scholarly, erudite young man, Mr North.Anthony Edwards is superb in this role as are the other players in the cast. Direction is flawless, but why not, Danny Huston is the son of the great Walter and son of John Huston. Photography is a picture book of Rhode Island. If slap stick comedy is your cup of tea, this movie isn't for you. Crisp dialog, and Bob Mitchum as you haven't seen before is delicious.Sit back and enjoy.
