Love tale mixes romance, humor

Queen of Hearts *** (Nova
Home Video) Rated Mature

s Eddie (Stefano

Spagnoli) remembers

it, his {talian family
was always lucky.

His father, Danilo Joseph Long)
and mother Rosa (Anita Zaguria)
had suffered a forbidden love be-
fore eloping on the eve of her
marriage to another. The enraged
and humiliated groom-to-be chas-
ed the lovers to the peak of a.
church bell tower. Choosing to be
together in death, they leapt,’
hand-in-hand.

That’s when their incredible luck
began.

This story of a proud and loving
(but not necessarily harmonious)

It doesn’t hurt that they give him
a Jag and a pretty “wife’’ Jen-

cover. Now all Dennis has to do is
find a drug ring to hand over to
the police.

This is a delightful fast-paced
farce with a likeabie cast of eccen-
teics, including a pre-Nuns on the
Run Robbie Coltrane playing a
sadistic detective who carries an
ominous cello case.

sider it was made during a low ebb
in Britain’s war efforts. In fact,
Churchill himself irowned on the
movie's criticism of leadership.
Even more startling is that no
expense has been spared with
Technicolor and lavish sets.
Deborah Kerr has one of her
earliest roles playing three dif-
ferent ‘‘ideal’’ women in the
Colonel's life. The director was in
love with Kerr and his attention to
her considerable beauty shines.
