The running time is a minute or two shy of an hour and twenty, less a few more for the opening and closing credits. It would be nice to be able to say that this is the result of ruthless enforcement of the strictest creative standards. What can instead be said is that the shortness is the most authentically old-fashioned quality in a formulaic farce of mistaken identity. There are three identities mistook rather than just one or two, but despite that daring innovation it is hard to discern much point or purpose -- unless it was simply the excuse to visit Venice (It.). Richard Griffiths, Andreas Katsulas, Alison Steadman, and Penelope Wilton carry off their assignments with aplomb. Dudley Moore, Bryan Brown, Patsy Kensit, and Bronson Pinchot are entrusted with assignments, too. Written and directed by Mark Herman. (1992) — Duncan Shepherd
