This comedy is set upon a remote Greek island and is very loosely based on Shakespeare's classic play. The tale centers on a middle-aged New York architect who abandons his wife and moves to the island with his teen-age daughter and his new lover, a Greek singer, in hopes of finding meaning in his life. The only resident of the island is an old hermit, and the father is finally happy until his wife, her lover, his son and others get in a shipwreck and end up marooned on the island with him. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

I'd enjoyed this movie the first time seeing it years ago, and loved it all over again upon viewing it recently. The cast and acting are superb, the Greek island setting is gorgeous, and Raul Julia's song and dance number with his goat herd is a truly transcendent experience. Great entertainment, highly recommended.

This is one of my favorite movies. It has magic, scenes of NYC & the Greek isles, and a great ensemble cast.

Do not watch this movie if you are studying shakespeare it has almost nothing to do with the play.
