I first saw Brides on TV when I was 10 years old and it has stuck with me ever since. I love this film and couldn't give a damn if David Peel danced around in a tutu in his personal life. His performance as Baron Meinster is great and he seems genuinely drawn to Marianne in the film. That's called acting and I often think that too many focus on tabloid stories and not what's on the screen. Film is an escapist fantasy and to me, I'm only interested in how well those involved in the film create that fantasy.
