What critics compared Cookie's Fortune to
"Gosford Park" is such a joyous and audacious achievement it deserves comparison with his very best movies, such as "MASH," " McCabe and Mrs. Miller ," " Nashville ," " The Player ," " Short Cuts " and " Cookie's Fortune ."
Finally, after playing with the cute, inoffensive, and paper-thin eccentrics of such films as Cookie's Fortune and Dr. T and the Women, he's working from a script worthy of his talents, and he's inspired.
Directed by Altman (MASH, Cookie's Fortune ), it takes place during a weekend party at a British country home during the early 1930s, with a numerous cast of talented actors, a sumptuous and richly detailed setting, and an anonymous murder thrown in for good measure.
Quintessential American director Robert Altman ("Cookie's Fortune," "Nashville") travels to England to explore an upstairs/downstairs Agatha Christie-style murder mystery.
