Woman
in a Dressing Gown DVD Review
Remastered
and rereleased to DVD with cast interviews and theretical trailer Woman in a
Dressing Gown tells the story of Amy (Yvonne Mitchell) a housewife who seems to
no do anything right-she burns the breakfast, fails to tidy the house and
doesn’t seem to get dressed and instead stays in her dressing gown for the
majority of the film.
I
know what you’re thinking. Now wonder Amy’s husband Jim (Anthony Quayle) is
thinking about leaving her for young, tidy secretary Georgie (Sylvia Simms).
When Amy finds out about his affair she tries her best to tidy up and be a
better housewife to the point where she goes and gets her hair done only for
the rain to ruin it.
A
typical story of the time period, I was excited to see this movie being a fan
of such movies once id seen Brief Encounter. The problem was however that I
found myself comparing Woman in a Dressing Gown with Brief Encounter. Whether
that was because it was set in the same time period with the use of the story
or language I do not know.
What
I do know however, is that both Yvonne Mitchell and Anthony Quayle give
believable and in a way relatable performances as Amy and Jim in which both men
and women can relate to.
