Product Description
An undisputed classic of the British Screen, In his final film James Mason leads a superb cast including Edward Fox, Robert Hardy, Gordon Jackson and John Gielgud in a heart-rending and penetrating adaptation of Isabel Colegate's compelling masterpiece.
It is the autumn of 1913 and Europe stands on the brink of the war to end all wars. A county house party assembles to celebrate a world that is passing into history: and gunfire in the depths of the English countryside will soon be heard in the killing fields of Flanders. The Shooting Party brilliantly captures a moment in time in a story that will stay with you forever.

This film might have been a little slow. It is not. Kept to a reasonably short length, it retains the interest throughout, as a decent landowner, just before 1914, invites some English and foreign semi-vulgarians to shoot on his estate. The actors are superb (Fox, Mason et al) and the locations authentic. You feel as if you are there at times. The jarring clash of the Victorian, Edwardian and post-Edwardian ways of life is beautifully drawn. Recommended.
An melancholy look at the world of England's landed gentry a year before the war they once called the Great War, a world that will never exist again. Moving, but not a happy film.
