My Family and Other Animals
Review date: 2006-10-29 Rating: 8 out of 10
I had been hoping for some time that this adaptation would be released on disc but was irritated to find that certain memorable sequences have been cut from this version. Viewers will miss the humour at the Greek customs of Mother Durrell's bag being retained, of Margot in full cry from an upper window, of some of the eccentricities of Larry's artist friends. Also a surrealistic scene of the family eating of a table in the sea and the conclusion has been docked of references to the political tension in Europe in the late 1930's. Still most of the film has survived intact and all the chief performers turn in first class performances.
