There is also the problem that the play's underlying attitude--explicitly stated at one point--that the very rich somehow need ***extra*** tolerance and indulgence, more so than other people, is not exactly timely in the 21st century.
In the play or the film, do you think? I haven't read the play.
I have read HOLIDAY and THE ANIMAL KINGDOM which I wouldn't say have any special pleading for the wealthy as much as an apt understanding of the price of wealth. |
