The Cinder Path

I just saw this film for the first time on DVD. I have watched it again a couple of times. It is a beautiful production that was well casted. I would have to strongly disagree with a previous review that cited Maria Miles' acting as the downfall of the film. I was quite taken with her acting, in fact, I thought she was a standout in the production. Lloyd Owen was a brilliant choice for the the part of Charlie. I'm inclined to say that Catherine Zeta-Jones was my least favorite casting choice, but perhaps it is because I am watching the film for the first time many years later after it was produced and the fact that I am more familiar with her as a celebrity than the other actors made her somewhat of an anachronism in the film.
