...effort to flush out any and all possible amusement that Turgenev might have tucked away in the script, Hamlin allows his actors to employ too many different comic styles. The result is that this production is both unfaithful to the play as well as to itself; in fact, during a few crucial scenes there seemed to be at least three different plays going on all at once...
...examples, Anthony McKay as Natalia's slighted husband, quite skillfully makes his character a denizen of French farce.

In fact eroticism in art derives as much from what is suggested as what is shown--those of us old enough to appreciate eroticism have already found out by took and crook what everything looks like and don't need very much of it unbared on the screen to heighten the impact...
