Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
One of the most intriguing criminal trials of the 1980s involved Claus von Bülow, who was accused of sending his rich wife Sunny into a permanent coma with an overdose of insulin. Director Barbet Schroeder, working from Nicholas Kazan's evocative, darkly humorous script, turns the story into both a look at the lives of rich folks with too much time on their hands and a whodunit, as lawyer Alan Dershowitz (Ron Silver) prepares to defend von Bülow (Jeremy Irons) in court. Irons won an Oscar for his spooky, knowing performance, which hints at depths of degeneracy without ever putting a dent in a veneer of bored elegance. The contrast between the hard-charging Dershowitz and his eager-beaver Harvard law students and the eternally languid von Bülow adds unexpected humor. --Marshall Fine



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good movie!
This is a very good movie especially if you've visited the mansions at Newport Rhode Island. Glenn Close and Jeremy Irons do an excellent job questioning our minds as to whether he did it or not. You be the judge, get this movie, you won't be dissappointed!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - This film delivers; fortunately...
`Reversal of Fortune' is an extremely well constructed look into one of the most controversial `attempted murder' trials of the 80's; that of socialite Claus von Bulow and his rich wife Sunny, who lay in a coma.

The film is told through the narrative of Sunny herself, never force-feeding the audience a manipulated conclusion but laying out the facts and allowing us to draw our own; did he or didn't he? The film follows Claus' appeal and attempt at a reversal of fortune, hoping that ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Crime in Newport
The film opens on the cottages of the wealthy at Newport on the Rhode Island shore. Then there is a hospital with a guard at the door. A woman lies in a coma. Medical attention saved her life. Her children distrusted her husband Claus. A second coma becomes permanent. Her two children hired a lawyer and a private investigator; they found a needle used to inject insulin! Would her husband benefit greatly from her death? Who else? Claus Von Bulow was convicted of attempted murder. This film tells how ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Irons is captivating as usual
As the (possibly) murderous husband in this film, Jeremy Irons shines in his usual understated manner.

Irons can deliver a line, and a gaze. I think of the scene in which Ron Silver, playing the attorney, leans into the von Bulow car and intones: "you are such a strange man," or some such. Irons gives him a calm but sinister look, pauses, then replies evenly, "oh, you have no idea."

Fine film; don't miss it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Reversal of Fortune
Director Schroeder's fascinating "Fortune" dramatizes the bizarre but very real 1980 crime and trial that hit the ultra-wealthy Newport set (and the rest of us) like a time bomb. The bravura performances of the stars elevate the sad, sordid aspects of the story, and Irons's portrayal of the enigmatic Claus is superb, netting him an Oscar. But Silver matches him as the mercurial Dershowitz: one of the film's great pleasures is watching how attorney and client, polar opposites in every respect but brains, ... Read More

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
