CIVIL BORES (1992)
WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD HELEN MIRREN, RUPERT GRAVES (DIRECTED BY CHARLES STURRIDGE, PG)

Tea-party manners, scenery to ooh and ah over, the eternal clash of propriety and nature-this adaptation of E.M. Forster's first novel has all the calling cards that drew audiences into A Room With a View and A Passage to India. But except for Helen Mirren's brief, mischievous performance as a woman who follows her bliss and then dies in childbirth, the movie remains frustratingly distant from its characters' inner lives. C
