David Niven the Pink Powder Puff Prince
By Roguestar (10 reviews) from Kirkliston , 04 Mar 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
Och it’s quite an enjoyable wee romp amang the heather. Focuses mainly on the after Culloden affair of Charlie and Flora. It’s well void of the true politic and brutality of this historical period but manages to mildly portray the Duke of Cumberland as the unlikable fellow he’s been afforded in Scotland.
Don’t expect in-depth history. Just a little dashing, false, romance.- Was this review helpful to you?

(2)Froth?...yes. But definitely a worthy watch
By manowar from Wirral, Merseyside , 31 Mar 2012Has to be said that this is a wonderful little farce which pushes all the right buttons. Some great Irish accents and some dodgy 'oirish' accents.
Lots of familiar Irish actors who regularly appeared in British films during the 40's & 50's are on show. Some of the comedy pieces are very funny indeed.
For me though, George Cole as the put-upon, hyper-nervous cellar-boy Terence, whose comedic timing allows him to steal every scene he's in, is the standout amongst a very talented cast. I think Bernard Cribbins must have studied this performance for his 60's comedy film appearances.
The lovely Irish-born actress, Noelle Middleton, makes a rare screen showing. The following year she appeared with David Niven again, in the excellent Carrington V. C, for which she received a BAFTA Best Actress nomination.
A 'slow to start' film that in the end seems to finish too quickly.
All in all, a little gem, so it is!- Was this review helpful to you?
