Entertainment Reviews:

New York Times - 05/24/1985

"...There's not a weak member in this huge cast....Ranks with the best work of [Mason's] long, rich, increasingly productive film career..."

Variety - 05/30/1984

"...Stuffed with characters and witty repartee, the story is a leisurely paced commentary on what happens when power and position decline..."

Los Angeles Times - 06/27/1985

"...The film is a compendium of treasures, beginning with the fluidity of its editing, its rich but never cloying photography and its subtle and evocative clothes..."

Sight and Sound - 01/01/2007

"[T]he key performance comes from James Mason, touchingly world weary in one of his last roles."

Product Description:

Set during the end of the Edwardian Era, "The Shooting Party" is the spellbinding story of a group of aristocrats who are completely blind to the fact that a new age has dawned.

Plot Synopsis:

Adapted from Isabel Colegate's 1980 novel about how a weekend shoot at the country estate of Sir Randolph Nettleby in 1913, just prior to England's entry into World War I, exposes the fading hypocritical attitudes of the British aristocracy.
