Topic: Angela Pleasance


  
  Symptoms (1974)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
This rarely seen gem centers on Helen(Angela Pleasance), a rather odd young woman who invites her friend, Ann(Lorna Heilbron) to come stay with her at her decaying old house in the English countryside.
The strongest aspect of SYMPTOMS however is the marvellous performaces by Angela Pleasance and Lorna Heilbron.
Pleasance, the daughter of famed British character actor Donald Pleasance, is a supremely gifted actress who seldom ever got a role as good or as intriguing as this.

 Barchester   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
This is a BBC-at-its-best production, perfectly cast to the smallest part - although the choice of Donald Pleasance as the gentle Septimus Harding may seem an offbeat one - until, that is, you see him make the character his own.
Harding, as his pleasantly dotty Bishop Grantly (David Gwillim) shrewdly observes, "has persistent bouts of Christianity," although he has grown soft as warden of an almshouse for 12 old men, a job in which he does little for 800 pounds.
Nepotism is involved Since Harding's daughter (Angela Pleasance) is married to the worldly and scheming archdeacon Dr. Grantly (Niger Hawthorne), son of the bishop.

 TV CREAM - PLAY FOR TODAY (1975-79) BBC
Angela Pleasance is a young mother isolated by her chronic asthma and descending into paranoia.
Angela Down is a rape victim whom no-one will take seriously.
Meanwhile in a barn, pretty Angela (Helen Mirren) and plain Audrey (Janine Duvitski) play "house" with the ultra-shy and rather backward Donald (Colin Jeavons) who reveals much of his home life by swearing and shouting as the "daddy", before the game breaks up into a vicious round of teasing by the girls.

 Catherine Howard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Her tragedy comes upon falling in love with the debonair and devoted Thomas Culpeper.
In 1970, Angela Pleasance gave a melodramatic performance in a 90-minute BBC television drama Catherine Howard opposite Keith Michell as Henry VIII, Patrick Troughton as the duke of Norfolk and Sheila Burrell as Lady Rochford.
In this version of events a shrill, indulgent, cruel, hedonistic Catherine uses the naive Culpeper to try and get herself pregnant in order to secure her position.

 Symptoms - Movie Review - Horror Express.com
Helen Ramsey (Angela Pleasance) arrives back from Switzerland to her family home, a large old-fashioned country house, accompanied by a friend, Ann West (Lorna Heilbron).
The central performances are outstanding, especially Angela (daughter of Donald) Pleasence, who is one of the strangest looking women, with her piercing eyes, high cheekbones and wispy hair, not to mention her unusual voice.
She is perfect in the role of the neurotic Helen, and is really the force that holds the film together.

 Television Heaven
Award winning BBC costume drama of the highest quality starring Keith Michell as the infamous Tudor King who bought about the dissolution of the monasteries and whose "Act of Supremacy" in 1534 gave his country the anomaly, still surviving today, of a monarch who is head of a church.
A fine supporting cast that included Annette Crosbie (Catherine of Aragon), Dorothy Tutin (Anne Boleyn), Anne Stallybrass (Jane Seymour), Elvi Hale (Anne of Cleves), Angela Pleasance (Catherine Howard), Rosalie Crutchley (Catherine Parr), Anthony Quale and Patrick Troughton in what was essentially a sequence of six self-contained plays, one for each wife.
From parts one to six we saw Henry growing in age from a slim 17 year old to an obese 56 year old, as he married six different women with the sole purpose that one of them would present him with a male heir to ascend to the throne after his death.

She was most recently seen in an episode of the BBC Choice horror anthology series Spine Chillers.
Angela Pleasence is the daughter of another famous actor, Donald Pleasance, and starred alongside her father in the British horror film From Beyond The Grave.
An unfortunately sparringly used actress she has spent much of her career on stage but her other TV roles include the BBC adaptation of Chekov's The Wood Demon (1974), Mansfield Park, The Barchester Chronicles, The Bill, Crime Traveller (The Broken Crystal) and Midsomer Murders (Death of a Hollow Man).

 > > Compare UK dvd and video prices. The Six Wives Of Henry VIII - Catherine Howard [1970] , , John Glenister, Naomi ...
Catherine - promiscuous and vapid as she was, had a heart of gold - comes out as a scheming, hysterical shrew and her adulterous lover, Thomas Culpepper (a convicted rapist and murderer) as a lovelorn romantic.
The storyline is decidely pro-Henrician and Catherine's character (played well-enough by Angela Pleasance) does not seem anything more than two-dimensional.
The budget was abominably low, costume and set suffer enormously as a result - but Sheila Burrell's performance as the manipulative Lady Rochford is well-played, as is Patrick Troughton's (Lord Norfolk.) Catherine Howard's story, however, is still waiting for a sympathetic and accurate appraisal I fear.

 Film Adaptations of Jane Austen's Novels
In the 1983 BBC Mansfield Park, David Giles and Ken Taylor did not shy away from letting the viewer quietly watch and listen to the scene of Fanny Price and Mary Crawford sitting in Mrs.
Since the viewer is allowed simply to watch a scene, I caught how Angela Pleasance playing Lady Bertram seemed to echo Le Tousel's subtle evocation of intense nervousness at the edge of apparent calm.
In comparison, in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice film the equally realistic projection of an ironical yet kind presence by Benjamin Whitlow as Mr.

 EAT MY BRAINS! - FrightFest Presents - May 28th 2005 - Feature Article
Perhaps the best of the bunch is the second story, An Act of Kindness featuring Donald Pleasance (as jolly and loveable as ever) as a matches’n’laces selling war veteran who befriends Ian Bannen’s office clerical worker.
With great performances from Diana Dors and Angela Pleasance as Donald’s daughter (“It’s not a song, It’s just words I made up”) the story builds up to a nice twist ending featuring voodoo dolls and wedding cakes.
Third story The Elemental also features a nice concept, with Ian Carmichael enlisting the help of a dotty old clairvoyant to rid him a homicidal demon that has burrowed into his shoulder (they live in the Underground apparently).

 Film Adaptations of Jane Austen's Novels
She has taken Fragonard's The Swing and Watteau's pictures of ladies in bed with their dogs too seriously.
I much preferred the 1983 MP Anna Massey's and Angela Pleasance's Ward sisters in Sir Thomas's house, the one his semi-servant, semi-peer, the other his bed-companion and decorative object about the house.
Massey as Mrs Norris looked a little scary, made of rusted hard iron where the rest of us are neurons, sharply aggressive; Pleasance as Lady Bertram was all compliance, but also slightly nervous (as in front of Edmund at one moment in the book) and quietly alert when Sir Thomas was about.

The best line in the film is delivered by Woodward in the house of Bob Cratchet (David Warner):
