After making some rather obscure features for almost 20 years, Kenneth Branagh has recently made somewhat a comeback with ‘Thor’and he has been making some big blockbusters ever since (‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’, ‘Cinderella’). Anyway, back in the 90’s, I was a big fan of his work so I was really eager to check this flick, even if it is one of his most unknown features. Indeed, a ... read more

Description: In A Midwinter's Tale, Joe Harper (Michael Maloney) is an actor who has been out of work for nearly a year. In order to rejuvenate his spirit, he takes a loan from his agent (Joan Collins) and invests the last of his savings in a production of Hamlet which will open over the Christmas holidays.

A Complete Review of Kenneth Branagh's work (20 movies items)

" Cast : Joan Collins What was it about? Out of work actor Joe volunteers to help try and save his sister's local church for the community by putting on a Christmas production of Hamlet, somewhat against the advice of his agent Margaretta. My two cents: A year earlier, Kenneth Branagh made ‘Frankenstein’, his biggest and most ambitious project so far but it was rather poorly received (personally, I thought it was not bad though).
