the movie have very much the feel of a play right from the start i think it would make a good play than a movie because the set and dramatization make a movie version seem a bit too artificial . but and still and it carry out fairly well and and the story and especially the dialogue be interest . they have take the dialogue pretty much exactly a be from the actual play . perhaps it a good introduction to shaw play . the main character raina have her head in the cloud and and a flair for the dramatic and and helena bonham carter act do a good job here . her fiancé and serge and be a bit too cartoonish when he be really suppose to be an extremely handsome dashing figure . her parent be entertain enough .
