Blithe Spirit — are you bitches THERE for the new film version????

No one (and I mean NO ONE) cares.

I was just thinking of the 1945 version, because of the Margaret Rutherford thread. It completely underwhelmed me. I had read so many glowing reviews of it and it didn't live up to them at all. Can't imagine why they're reviving it in this day and age.

This piece has a great concept but it’s not really that fab, overall.

And I really wonder what mental gymnastics were necessary back then to buy Noel Coward as a much married, straight catch.

Oh, please....it's like that pathetic remake of "The Importance of Being Earnest" from years ago....It's been DONE, and VERY, VERY WELL....Just forget it.

Saw Angela Lansbury’s 2015 LA run. The play was creakier than her performance — and that’s saying something!

Dame Judi can rot in hell with Lucy.

Since this was the only version I have seen of BLITHE SPIRIT, I enjoyed it. I've read the synopsis of the play and this version has some marked differences, but it's a fun romp. Stevens is great and Mann isn't as annoying as she usually is. It's glad to see Isla Fisher doing something besides being Mrs. Sacha Baron Cohen.

Covid escapism at best. Just about passable as diversion for a rainy afternoon. Otherwise, life's too short.

boring

Betty Bacall is fun in the 1950s TV version.

Leslie Mann continuing to get work despite lacking beauty or talent is one of Hollywood's greatest mysteries. She must work cheap.

R10 You rang?
