The Film
Adaptation of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" set in rural Australia
in the 1920's. Jack Dickens and his niece Sally run the family farm to
support brother-in-law Alexander as a (supposedly brilliant) literary
critic in London. Action begins when Alexander returns with his
beautiful young wife Deborah, revealing himself as an arrogant failure
and wanting to sell the farm out from under Jack. Blakemore introduces
themes about Australia's separation from England, as well as expanding
the pacifist and ecological philosophies espoused by the local Doctor
Max Askey.—IMDB Synopsis
Though he might not have the tightest body, I love watching him perform, (and his voice!) he sure looks his best in period attire.
