‘Under the Volcano’
- Share via
The last hours of an alcoholic British consul--an impossible romantic whose marriage is crushed, whose soul is rotting--on the Day of the Dead in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Based on Malcolm Lowry’s great novel, cannily directed by John Huston; with a performance of sodden, magnificent grandeur by Albert Finney (pictured) as the consul and a sympathetic portrayal of his hard-pressed wife by Jacqueline Bisset (pictured) (Bravo Saturday at 6 and 10 p.m.).
