"Gosford Park," a study in the social class system of 1932 with a whodunit murder-mystery thrown in for good measure, proves to be one of his largest miscalculations to date.

In Gosford Park, they refer to his movie The Lodger (1932), a failed (talkie) remake of one of Alfred Hitchcock's early (silent) works in which Novello had also appeared.
In Gosford Park, Altman makes only two changes to this formula: Hollywood stars are replaced by Top British talent that may be unfamiliar to most American audiences, and a straightforward murder mystery supplants his traditionally complicated plot line.
While the story was reminiscent of Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians, where it's the mystery that captivates the audience, Altman goes beyond the mystery with Gosford Park by using the murder as a vehicle to draw attention to the human condition and class hierarchy.

Every one of the visitors has one of these handy servants -- valets, for the men -- except one unlucky woman whose lack of a lady's maid or a wardrobe of evening gowns is cause of much clucking from the other guests.
Downstairs, Gosford Park's own substantial staff is making room and adapting its own pecking order for this influx of valets, maids, drivers and assorted hangers-on who will invade their own space, much as the guests upstairs are invading the drawing rooms and libraries of Sir William.
And the lives of the servants, universally ignored, are at the crux of Gosford Park, its secrets and its murder mystery.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | The ghosts of "Gosford Park"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
On a formal level, "Gosford Park" turns out to be haunted by the ghosts of the 19th-century novel, and in particular by a narrative device that was essential to the novel's social reach, its efforts to achieve what Williams called a "more general understanding" of its extraordinary historical moment.
That device is the inheritance plot, which is as omnipresent in the 19th-century British novel as the adultery plot was in the French.
"Gosford Park" is a kind of return of the repressed: the manor house whodunit reunited with its long-lost ancestor, the inheritance plot.

In a crucial structuring device, scenes involving the upper classes play out with at least one servant lingering in the background, or begin in private only to be disrupted by a discreet rap on the door.
Renoir's maxim that "everyone has their reasons" finds a pedestrian counterpart here in a pronouncement by Bates's butler: "We all have something to hide." Gosford Park unfolds to the clatter of skeletons tumbling out of closets, though most of the bombshells are telegraphed so far in advance that cushy landings are all but assured.
A group of servants gather in the shadows of the surrounding rooms, listening in dreamy awe, and in a moment of exquisite pathos, two of them—enraptured by Northam's fluttery tenor and the lush sentimentality of the Novello melody—break into a spontaneous jig.

 The Popkorn Junkie :: Gosford Park
Nominated for numerous Academy Awards, "Gosford Park" is not only the best film of 2001, but also one of the best films I have seen in my entire life, a Robert Altman classic which ranks up there with other Altman films like "Nashville", "Short Cuts", and even "M*A*S*H".
To put it as plainly as I can--this is a masterpiece of modern cinema and deserves to win every single award for which it is nominated.
The setting of this tale is Gosford Park, a large mansion belonging to Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) and Lady Sylvia McCordle (Kristen Scott Thomas), where a party is being held--two days of hunting, eating, and fellowship.

There is an airiness to the film's mood as it flitters between the many, many story threads but I have a problem with the slightness of the story and the trite manner in which it is told.

 SPLICEDwire | "Gosford Park" review (2001) Robert Altman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Stephen Fry, Emily Watson
The estate is the home of the aloof upper-crusters Sir William and Lady Sylvia McCordle (Michael Gambon and Kristin Scott Thomas) and it's gathering place for their many coattail-riding relatives, including Aunt Constance (the wonderful, quizzically austere Maggie Smith) who habitually puts on airs as if she's not living off an allowance from the McCordles.
Altman's talent for meticulous character juggling is put to the test in the interlaced manifold narrative of "Gosford Park," embellished as it is with backstories and/or ulterior motives.
With the exception of Fry's inept inspector, there's not a cliché to be had here, and almost any one of the multihued personalities in "Gosford Park" could have been the main character, had the story taken a different tack.

Gosford Park: (Patrick Doyle) When one thinks about a Robert Altman film, the original score isn't the first thing that comes to mind.
Minimalistic by Doyle's standards, Gosford Park has its moments of jazzy flair and rolling piano cues, but the mass of it tinkers along with a light beat and the meanderings of a solo instrument of choice.
For Doyle fans, you may be disappointed by the restraint that Doyle places on himself, as to never overshadow the primary focus of the film: the character drama and nearly constant dialogue or singing.
