i be disappoint in this a so much be just great . cindy williams be terrific a a hippy dippy train passenger . alec mccowan be wonderful a the bewildered strait lace nephew who gradually allow himself to cut loose from his narrowly define life . it be great to hear and see a much different lou gossett and with outrageous robe and an odd african accent that work in this . the location shooting be beautifully do and particularly in paris . maggie smith performance ( and i be a fan of maggie ) be just too loud and too dramatic and just way too over the top and so that when her sad side emerge and it come across a equally phony . her makeup a a very much old woman be flawless and when she play her young self and it be a much more controlled performance . i think maggie could have use good direction here . a great story that at some time need to be film again . alec mc cowan performance make it highly watchable . he get be just right . i give it a positive .
