Pygmalion (1983) TV Movie

[hotsake]

The feels much more like a play than a TV movie, it's not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting. Peter O'Toole seems to be having the time of his life chewing up scenery yelling all of his lines and grinning like a fool. Margot Kidder does fine playing her role but that is also a bit of a downside to this movie, everyone seems to be acting a part instead of assuming the character. This isn't a case of actors performing their part badly but of good actors playing a part instead of delving into the movie.
