It's Bloody Terrible!

Sidney Sheldon's 'Bloodline' is an unmitigated turkey with a cast including the late beloved Audrey Hepburn Ben Gazzara James Mason Omar Sharif Irene Pappas and Gert Frobe, you would think you would be watching a top notch international classic, sadly this is not to be the plot has Audrey Hepburn who is the daughter of a wealthy pharmaceuticals magnate who is mysteriously murdered, Hepburn then becomes heir to the family's fortune with all of her estranged siblings who try to get a piece of the action, sounds good well not really you are reasonably entertained for starters but gradually the film is a mess most notably thanks to Omar Sharifs rather inept performance as a playboy who has a string of sons and daughters this stupid subplot seems edited from another film, Poor Audrey Hepburn has little to do but look terrified and at the same time look really stunning in her collective fashions from Givenchy. all in all if your looking for a time waster please feel free to watch the newly released DVD.
