Wodehouse in Exile (2013) Reviews
Simple and sad
Hugely disagree with the one other reviewer on this site. That Wodehouse was too innocent to understand how the Nazis were using him also explains why he didn't blink an eye at Macintosh's anti-Semitic doings. Wodehouse was sequestered from the war by the Nazis. How was he to know what was happening? Absurd critique. And the movie is paced well, not too fast, certainly not too slow. Pigott-Smith is wonderful as Wodehouse, Zoe Wanamaker brilliant as his beloved, not-so-easily fooled wife. Julian Rhind-Tutt plays Malcolm Muggeridge, PUNCH editor, satirist, and Guardian writer. Flora Montgomery, once Ireland's EFP's Shooting Star, is lovely as Leonora, Wodehouse's (step)-daughter.
Very dull movie
The move is, would I say, a very average work of an amateurish film maker. Everything is done straight, like in a court record. And the movie is saved only by the brilliant performance of Tim Pigott-Smith. One scene is very puzzling to me. There was a joke in the former Soviet Union. Two Russians keep a conversation. One says: "We have to kill all the Jews and the hair cutters." The other guy thinks a bit and answers with amusement: "But why the hair cutters?" About the same line is used in this movie. The British security officer tells Wodehouse that his companion, Mackintosh, was a collaborator. The officer continues: "Mackintosh translated to English the texts of the German marches and some anti-Semitic books." Wodehouse, like the Russian guy from the Soviet joke, asks with amusement: "German marches?" That line says a lot about the British state of mind and the quality of this movie.
