A Chorus of Disapproval is a 1989 British film adapted from the 1984 Alan Ayckbourn play of the same title, directed by Michael Winner. Among the films's cast are Anthony Hopkins, Jeremy Irons, Richard Briers, and Alexandra Pigg.

Plot

The story follows a young widower, Guy Jones, as he joins an amateur operatic society that is putting on The Beggar's Opera. He rapidly progresses through the ranks to become the male lead, while simultaneously conducting liaisons with several of the female cast.

Cast and characters

Filming Locations

The main filming locations in Scarborough were:

  • Scarborough railway station - Guy arrives in Scarborough at the beginning and leaves for Blackpool at the end
  • Duke of York Guest House, 1-2 Merchants Row, off Eastborough, Scarborough - Guy's lodgings
  • Castle Community Centre, East Sandgate - the cast rehearse The Beggar's Opera
  • Royal Opera House [demolished 2004, now Opera House Casino], St Thomas Street - the cast rehearse and then perform The Beggar's Opera in the theatre

Reception

Time Out gave A Chorus of Disapproval a negative review, stating that most of the film's cast "can't cope with either the heavily truncated script or Winner's cloddish, half-baked direction."[4]
