Review of Scandal at Scourie

. . . then I suppose it would be nice if the Catholics & Protestants could be too, but it's taken about 500 years to become nodding acquaintances, and will no doubt take another 5,000 to be bosom buddies. Therefore, it is stunning that the four writers involved with this story thought that movie audiences would swallow its blather hook, line and sinker. While I think the actors are very entertaining, and that the story MIGHT have made sense if it involved a brown-eyed kid being adopted by a set of blue-eyed parents, the idea that a Protestant lady raised in Northern Ireland during the Troubles could flee to Canada and think she could waltz right up to an orphanage nun any time she wanted to feather her empty nest and demand a Catholic child kind of reflects poorly on the gene pool of the Orange Men. Meanwhile, if the original writer could have stretched her imagination to make Patsy's nemesis Tony the Firebug a PROTESTANT boy from the non-nun run orphanage next door that also caught fire when Patsy burned down the Catholic children's home "by accident," Tony's ill-will toward Patsy would be better motivated, making SCANDAL AT SCOURIE a better yarn.
