Fanny (1961)
Leslie Caron
I saw this movie, but all I saw was Leslie Caron. I'm told that my review is too short, but all I can say is that every time I see a film in which Leslie Caron plays a part, Leslie Caron is all I see.
The Curse of Oak Island (2014)
A GENUINE FAKE
The "treasure" will never be found, because its discovery will mean the end of the series. Is it not obvious? It's a soap opera. There is a cliffhanger at the end of almost every episode. Like every soap opera, the story never ends. I used to watch until I realized that the story has no end, but will continue for as long as it generates audience, at which time it will die a natural death. No "treasure" but quite a lot of money.
The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: The McGregor Affair (1964)
Bad accents
I never heard so many ridiculously bad accents. Hitchcock must have known how bad they were. Some American actors can do accents, some definitely cannot, and it seems that all the one's that cannot are gathered in this episode.
Perry Mason: The Case of the Misguided Model (1966)
This one HURTS
The worst, the most ludicrous, the corniest, the stupidest episode of any series of any genre I have EVER seen in my long life. This is a total embarrassment. From the ridiculous start, this episode progressed, careening downhill at the most alarming acceleration of total inanity one could ever wish to witness. Enough said.
Perry Mason: The Case of the Dead Ringer (1966)
What an accent
All I will say about this is, I'm a Brit, and I admit that there are American actors who can pull off British accents, not many, but some. So, why do American actors who definitely CANNOT do British accents insist on trying to do the impossible? Raymond Burr's British accent made my teeth ache.
Perry Mason: The Case of the Golden Venom (1965)
Atrocious acting
In my previous review, I erroneously quoted Carole Wells as playing Lucille Decker. I should have said Mirna Decker.
Cracker: The Mad Woman in the Attic: Part 1 (1993)
TYPICAL, BRITISH AND BEST
I now live in the USA, but I used to watch these "CRACKER" series before I defected. No one, absolutely no one can come close to the British level of excellence when it comes to drama, any type of drama. Mr. Coltrane is a fat, smoking, drinking, gambling tower of outstanding acting ability. The series is brilliantly written, acted performed produced, and I need say no more. Fabulous.
Once Upon a Time in London (2019)
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!
One knew this was bad even before the line "Who's the king of the underworld". The script is awful, the music is putrid and the entire production is not worth the time. I got most of the way through it but had to give up when the immortal "who's the king of the underworld" was uttered again. Thoroughly bad.
