...escape? Will he get his revenge? It's an old story--The Count of Monte Cristo by way of TV's The Prisoner--but Fry (who played the pompous detective in Gosford Park) has the wit and erudition to make it run like a well-made pocket watch. Be warned: the vengeance promised by the title has an unabashedly nasty flavor that's distinctly British and quite refreshing compared with our more Puritanical American brand...

As a matriculating student at the Beijing Languages Institute, which in 1979 is China's most cosmopolitan school, he is the ultimate rube. He has never laid eyes on a foreigner, listened to a radio, tasted coffee or seen a refrigerator, and when he opens his mouth to speak?whether in English or his heavily accented Chinese?his classmates and teachers...
