Well, but if you are a "geezer".......2005-02-17

and are an Olympia Dukakis fan and can take the fact that Haim is in the video, then go and buy this movie!

Geezer Central!.......2000-01-07

This is a warning to whoever wants to buy this movie. DON'T! You are probably making the same mistake I did when I rented this. You probably are a Corey Haim fan and think that he's the star. Well, he isn't. This movie is just about a couple of geezers that are trying to solve a nursing home scam. Corey Haim just has a little part, I think he's like old man's grandson. Even if you don't like Corey Haim, do yourself a favour and don't buy this. It's boring, long, the storyline is stupid and it was made in Canada(that about says it all). I mean I'm Canadian but lets face it, Canadian-made things suck! Well that's about all I can say so, once again, DON'T BUY THIS MOVIE!

Description

Fond of the whip, the isolation chamber, straight jackets and starvation tactics, Squire Meadows is the sadistic governor of a Victorian prison who relishes making the lives of his prisoners a torturous hell. He's also a dishonorable lecher scheming to marry Susan, a beautiful village girl. She's deeply in love with someone else - a handsome but poverty-stricken man named George, who is forced to work in far-away Australia so he can earn enough money to wed her. The evil squire intercepts George's long-distance love letters and coerces Susan into marrying him. News reaches the squire that George is making his way back home (and is now a wealthy man). Learing exposure, Meadows determines to destroy George before he can return.A gruesome and deliciously lurid thriller, Never Too Late To Mend places the spotlight firmly on Tod Slaughter, an often-overlooked British horror film star whose performances are always bursting with over-the-top melodrama. The film is based on the writings of Charles Reade, which inspired Queen Victoria to overhaul the deplorable conditions of the era's prison system. Scottish-born director David MacDonald later helmed the unusual British sci-fi thriller Devil Girl From Mars, as well as episodes of the eerie Boris Karloff TV-series "The Veil." Script writer H.F. Maltby also wrote the dialogue for Tod Slaughter's Sweeney Todd and Crimes At The Dark House.

Customer Reviews:

Classic 19th-century melodrama.......2007-06-07

The previous reviewer says this was based on Charles Reade's novel, which is partly true. Reade also made this into a play which was immensely popular in the 19th century and shocked Victorian audiences in its depiction of prision life. Many considered its "realism" too harsh. The performance on this 1930s film is in the style of the 19th-century melodrama as it would have been performed on the stage, including the style of acting. So if you want to eperience what that was like, try this film. Squire Meadows is a true "villain" and you'll be rooting for the hero, who is saved by his best friend!

It's never too late to discover Tod Slaughter.......2005-12-11

The passing years have unjustly consigned him to relative obscurity, but Tod Slaughter never failed to deliver a tour de force performance that practically personified villainy. The man had it all - the eminently tweak-able mustache, the dramatic (some might say melodramatic) facial expressions, the masterful smirks, the perfectly dark, gleeful laugh, and a panache that goes unrivalled still today. In this 1937 film, he was in fine form indeed, scheming his schemes, enjoying his local power in the community, and - this time around - dispensing justice the Tod Slaughter way.

Slaughter plays the wealthy Squire Meadows, a stalwart fixture in the local community who also serves as justice of the peace and administrator of the local prison. Hiding his villainy behind a mask of nobility and indulging his dark side in the form of prisoner discipline just isn't enough to satisfy him, though. He's in love with a young lass named Susan Merton (Marjorie Taylor) - but she is in love with a poor farmer named George Fielding (Ian Colin). That's okay, though, because Tod Slaughter always has a plan - J.R. Ewing could take a few lessons from Tod Slaughter. Even though part of his first plan doesn't work out, Fielding gives the good Squire time to rethink his approach by taking off for Australia for a couple of years, aiming to make something of himself and then return to claim his bride. During that time, Meadows ingeniously manages to insinuate his good graces into the Merton family, intercept all of the young lovers' letters back and forth, and cast ruinous gossip about George Fielding all over town. All the while, he is there to comfort Susan and butter up her father. It's the perfect plan.

The film is best known for its depiction of harsh prison conditions. Tod Slaughter is purely in his element as he's threatening prisoners (young and old) with "the cat," having them thrown in the "Black Hole," or sentencing them to 1800 turns of the crank a day and a week on bread and water. In this capacity, the film is based on Charles Reade's novel Never Too Late to Mend, a book that characterized the abuses and depravity of prison justice so effectively that it inspired Queen Victoria to call for a complete overhaul of the system.

Historical context aside, though, Tod Slaughter really makes the entire film. When is the last time you saw a villain on film and felt as if the guy truly enjoyed every facet of his evil ways? It is that unmatched spirit of devilish glee that shines through every second of a Tod Slaughter performance that makes him the archetype and the embodiment of true villainy - and makes this and every other Tod Slaughter film a must see.

Rene Burton, It's Never Too Late, Healthy Aging Level 2.......2007-03-22

Level 2 was a little more difficult than Level 1 but the workouts in Level 1 prepared me to progress through Level 2 with little difficulty. Rene did not allow me to go further until she thought I was capable of handling the more difficult exercises. In between her classes I did the exercises at home almost on a daily basis and this helped me to complete Level 2 in a relatively short period of time. My stability, balance, and endurance progressively improved with each session It is a wonderful program run by a woman dedicated to helping seniors to improve their mobility and reduce the falls which can cause serious injury.

Rene Burton, It's Never Too Late , Healthy Aging Level 1 .......2007-03-22

I am a 74 year old man afflicted with nerve pain and stiffness in my lower legs and feet due to diabetes. I was in constant pain walking and had no thought of ever dancing again until I purchased The Rene Burton, It's Never Too Late series of 3 DVDs. I have completed all Levels and now am in a daily exercise program (at home) to maintain the significant improvement in stability, balance, and endurance I achieved while completing the 3 Levels of instruction. I did not find Level 1 very difficult at all but it restored some of the flexibility I had lost in my muscles and prepared me to go into Level 2.Rene Burton, It's Never Too Late, Healthy Aging Level 1 (Beginner)

Rene Burton, It's Never Too Late, Healthy Aging Level 3.......2007-03-22

I've completed Level 3 training and now do all my exercising at home. I start with a warm-up using some of the exercises in Level 1 and 2 and then complete Level 3. I am much more confident in my ability to walk longer distances and walk without signs of being an older man. I can now dance and have danced on several recent occasions. I am not the "Astaire" I used to be but I hang in there with some pretty good hoofers. I attribute this improvement to Rene's program but also to her enthusiastic desire to help seniors improve their lifestyle and prevent injury from falling. It is the best investment I have made in my health in many years!Rene Burton, It's Never Too Late, Healthy Aging Level 3 (Advanced)
