The Bad Lord Byron (1948)
Country: GB
Technical: bw 85m
Director: David MacDonald
Cast: Dennis Price, Mai Zetterling, Joan Greenwood
Synopsis:
Seriously ill in Greece, Lord Byron has a vision in which competing sides of his character are put on trial for posterity.
Review:
The fantastic framework is better than a plodding biopic, but one would have dearly loved the Gainsborough-style romp promised by the title. Instead at least half of the film is spent showing us what a capital fellow he was.
