I liked his hair! I would have hated it if they put him in a Powdered wig...he has a rather large head, and he would have looked aweful Am I the only one who found this movie hard to watch because of the poor sound?

Am I the only one who found this movie hard to watch because of the poor sound? No.. I usually have to turn the volume all the way up in order to hear what the people were saying. It was nice to have Alan in the title role for once, but.. the movie wasn't really what I expected.

I also have to turn up the sound, but I need the remote handy. Because when there's wailing, well, I think I scare my dogs because then it gets loud. Actually, I think that's the main reason why I don't watch this very often...

I'd give up a lock of my pretty blonde hair to get my hands on this film. It seems to be impossible to find as region 2 DVD or a PAL video Based on the pictures posted, it looks beautiful, and I tend to be a sucker for historical films, too

I would also love to get my hands on this film. It cannot be found in the UK for love nor money. I know I've heard a lot about this film not being up to scratch and I believe Alan was in some sort of disagreement with the Producers. I would still love to see it though. He looks absolutely stunning in his white frills and his hair is oh so beautiful. i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/Nethiel/Mesmer2076.jpg*sigh* EDIT: This pic is showing up too big, so I'll just post the link.

I had a hard time hearing this also. I had to turn the volume up all the way on my dvd player. This movie was a good movie to me. And, I like the hair.

every time I have watched this film i think it is brilliant casting. Who but our Alan could play a character with such a hypnotic voice? but at the end I am still disgruntled with the crappy sound quality

Have you tried your local library? I managed to check it out from mine (mine has almost all of Alan's films. Then again, the librarians at this library are Rickmaniacs, so this makes sense)...

I just received mine today from amazon. I am so excited. The only thing is that I won't be able to watch it until Wednesday . My husband wants to watch it with me and he has to work all night tomorrow night ! Oh well! Nothing is better than anticipation right?

Oh I'll have to try that! Thank you EmmyMik. Yeah I've been searching for Mesmer for a long time, i tried to order it,but the store told me it's not in print anymore. I completely forgot to even think about if the library has it!! ;D

When I checked it out (along with many of Alan's other movies), the librarian looked at the DVD and said, "Oh, Alan is just *gorgeous* in this movie!" Hee!

My husband wants to watch it with me and he has to work all night tomorrow night ! Oh well! Nothing is better than anticipation right? So, what did you think? All the reviews on Amazon are pretty poor. And one even thought Alan wasn't very good ... sacrilege. I read somewhere that Alan and the Director changed the movie so much as they were shooting it, the producers refused to release the movie. They said it wasn't what they had financed originally. I know this will sound silly, but I watched a clip of the kissing scene and had to say eeeeuuuuwwwww. The woman kissing Alan was more like a tropical fish ... a kissing gourami to be exact. I'm sure any one of us could have done a better job in that scene. Anyway, it really turned me off the movie. I'll look forward to your unbiased opinion.

Ha... unbiased...I like that Des Karma point for even suggesting such a thing ! Alan's role: Alan was absolutely fantastic. Without giving anything away, he was very convincing as always. He was enticing throughout the entire movie. I couldn't take my eyes off of him ! As for the female actress...you have to get to know her...I don't want to give anything away. You actually want them to kiss at that moment. It is such a touching moment. That's all I will say about that ! The Plot: The overall plot had to do with Alan and the female actress, and it was a great story. There were a few background things that were left unexplained, so it was almost like they cut out some important scenes, that would have explained these details. Perhaps if they would have left out those certain details, it wouldn't have been an issue at all, but sense they did add them in, it would have been nice to have some kind of explanation. It didn't ruin the movie for me though. The overall plot came through rather nicely, and I enjoyed the movie very much ! Edit: I just realized what I had typed here, and it may seem a bit confusing. It's very difficult to give my opinion of the movie without giving anything away , so I'm afraid it is going to have to stay confusing ;D! Hahaha *evil laugh* I can't stand giving away movies !

^Missing background details was a common complaint in the Amazon reviews. Honestly, I don't think there was one positive review. Obviously, these people are not capable of being unbiased. Have to give you a karma point for being objective. Great review.
