    One Worth Finding and Watching

    Sadly, some of Colin Firth's best work is hard-to-impossible-to-find in any format. This is one such film and it is such an exceptional piece of work on all levels. It needs to see the light of day on DVD.

    The cast is wonderfully realized by all involved. Ditto the plot with a head-turner of a twist ending.

    Firth is such an amazing actor and nuance is extremely important to this film. He succeeds in this, but it is no surprise if one has seen any of his earlier, also sometimes obscure, work. He conveys more in a look than most actors can in dialog and over-the-top emoting.

    I will have to add to these comments kudos to the exceptional Katy Murphy who shares the spotlight with Firth at the center of this story.

    This is a modern day telling of the Don Quixote story, but also much more. It is also about triumph and will and, ultimately, great poignancy.

    I would recommend seeing this film if at all possible, if it can be found. Firth was and is such a versatile actor, long before he became a leading man. Tumbledown, Hostages, A Month in the Country, Donovan Quick -- must-see films if you truly want to see the range of the man who has since received the accolades for being the actor he always was.

    Worth a tilt

    To begin with Donovan Quick is Don Quixote, albeit a modern Don Quixote in a thoroughly modern setting with a modern corporate enemy (Windmill Transport). Donna Franceschild (who also did the tv adapation of Eureka Street by Robert McLiam Wilson) captures something of the dreamer-influencing-reality spirit of the original book in her screenplay for this telemovie. I found myself entranced by the production, going from desperation with the circumstances of of the Pannick family (Katy Murphy turning in a wonderful performance as Lucy Pannick, caretaker of her mentally disabled brother and senile grandmother, girlfriend to the somewhat abusive Clive) to the belief in the grand schemes of Donovan Quick (Colin Firth). What occurs in the confrontation between Donovan and Windmill Transport and what happens in the final twist ending I won't reveal here - go out, find a copy of this telemovie and see it for yourself.

    (And for Colin Firth fans - this is a must! As Donovan Quick, Firth gives a brilliant demonstration of his abilities as a character actor, not just as a handsome leading man.)

    Excellent Don Quixote update

    Apart from the currently fashionable under-lighting which puts some scenes in near total darkness this is a most enjoyable & involving drama with ever-smouldering Colin Firth the stranger in town with a past and Katy Murphy (what a wonderful face!) the damsel in distress who he comes to rescue. Her distress involves a mentally-retarded brother, a manipulative, selfish lover, a pile of bills and a Mother who wanders round the house dressed only in her slip.

    Donovan buys an old bus and sets up in opposition to the villain of the tale, a monopolistic bus company, Windmill Transport (Geddit?) and battle is joined.

    I found one short, violent scene unnecessarily graphic but the plot is beautifully resolved with a most satisfying - and surprising - final scene.

    Worth seeing for Colin Firth alone, very good story though.

    Colin Firth stars as a modern Day Don Quixote, set in Scotland, his mission is to defeat a greedy capitalist, George Mackie.

    It may seem like such a small story, but it isn't, it's about the small man standing up for what he believes in, for what's right, and saying no to the bullies. We have the intrigue in learning what has haunted Donovan.

    Katy Murphy is great, no wonder she won an award for her performance. The standout of course though is Colin Firth, he's so charismatic, and incredibly handsome.

    You have to laugh, Liz Smith walking round in her underwear, a much missed comedy legend, who did a wonderful line in scatty old ladies.

    We need more dramas like this nowadays, easy to watch, feel good, and no corpse in sight.

    Rather good, 7/10.

    BBC Drama Gem - NOT a Review, but an appreciation.

    I first watched this when it was first shown 21 years ago, enjoyed it then. Over the years, I'd forgotten about it, then for whatever reason it popped up in my memory again. Kept looking out for it for ages, then I spotted it showing on BBC Scotland as I was channel hopping. Still as enjoyable as it was when I first watched it. Great performances by all, especially Colin Firth and Katy Murphy. It's well worth seeking out for a decent BBC Drama.
