Product Description:
CREATOR THE (DVD MOVIE)
Amazon.com:
Exuding the charm and grace for which he seems to hold the patent, Peter O'Toole plays Doctor Harry Wolper, a renowned research biologist whose pet project is to clone his sorely missed wife, dead now for 30 years. Assisting him in fine fashion are Meli (Mariel Hemingway), a self-proclaimed 19-year-old nymphomaniac bent on capturing the affections of Dr. Wolper, and a research assistant (Vincent Spano), whose love interest is fellow student Virgina Madsen. This sweet and enjoyable romantic comedy is brought to a head when the Madsen character drops suddenly into a coma. Then Wolper's nemesis, played almost lovably by David Ogden Stiers, thwarts his cloning attempts by reclaiming the stolen equipment he's using to do so. While Dr. Wolper preaches the beauty of The Big Picture as a way of apprehending life, this one is decidedly a small picture, but in the sense of being attuned to small details, probably owing to the foreign sensibilities of Czech director Ivan Passer (Cutter's Way). The many disparate plot threads are eventually brought into harmony, though the sheer number of them may seem a jumble to many viewers. Better to let the big picture take care of itself, and content oneself with the many smaller pleasures this delightful film affords. --Jim Gay

I have loved this movie since it came to the big screen. What was more science fiction when it first shown is now very possible. The love of a man to spend his career working towards creating his dead wife of thirty years from her cells. A young woman helps him with giving her eggs and falls in love with the doctor/scientist. In the end love is seen as the "The Big Picture/Eye of God". The young assistant to the doctor shows the power of love when he spends what could be the last thirty six hours ... Read More

Wonderful movie. Peter O'Toole is grand. Perfect role for the actor. Story line is multiple-angled. The ending is very emotional. Easy watch - time flies when you watch it. Great music and picture setting. ENJOYABLE!!! I want to buy it and own it.

I saw this movie for the first time on cable when I was about 12. The next time it was on I recorded it on the family VCR and watched it too many times to count until I left home for college. I try to avoid making statements that seem overly melodramatic but I really think seeing this movie so often and from such a young age effected the person I am today, and for the better. I'm 34 now and still find myself quoting it often and, since so few people have seen it, am given credit for being funny and ... Read More

This movie is an understated gem of a film!! Start to finish, there is always something to make you grin. The performances are very good from all the players, and the dialogue is rich & very witty. Even the plot is quite unique, especially given the era the movie was made in. The central romances of the film--Harry/Meli and Boris/Barbara--are sweet & touching. There is good chemistry shared by all. This film is worth watching!!!

Peter O'Toole's best work to date. Ms Hemingway was excellent in this film despite the fact that it was one her first starring roles ('Lipstick' may have been filmed first). This movie will bring happy tears to your eyes... It is an incredible story about a Scientist who wishes to clone his dead wife and his relationship with the woman who volunteers to help him do so. This and 'The Doctor' are classics and must see - must have in your library or collection of art/films. I always recommend buying TWO ... Read More
