| Is it Noel Coward without the Noel Coward dialogue? I can't wrap my head around that. | |

| Why don't they film "High Spirits" at last? | |

| Need a cast? Toni Collette (who could probably play nearly any of the female leads, but probably Ruth), Jeremy Northam as Charles, as Elvira, maybe Nicole Kidman or Renee Zellweger (British accent in "Bridget Jones" films), Emma Thompson or Glenn Close for Madame Arcati. | |

| I never thought I would EVER have interest in another BLITHE SPIRIT, but this looks like fun to me (I also like Dan Stevens). | |

| Looks great. Thanks for posting this. Comedy has changed a little in eighty years. Noel Coward would smile and cash his checks -- well, receive his electronic transfers. |

| And as of this afternoon, they appear to be still on. (I admit I just grazed by). Enjoy. One of them is "Fire Island Liza" which requires you to begin brunch. |

| Leslie Mann was the best they could do for Elvira in a British film? | |

| Elvira is summoned again with CGI. The trailer makes it look like Coward's play has been goosed up in an effort to convince viewers it is a comedy. Margaret Rutherford remains the best reason to see the 1945 film. She gives a very funny but oddly convincing portrait of a British spiritualist in the waning days of the empire. Her Madame Arcati is doty but a professional. She brushes off the ridicule of unbelievers, rolls up her sleeves and gets down to work. |

| Rutherford is marvelous. I also find Harrison quite good. I normally don't care for him much, but I think his youth makes him more charming here. | |

| They appear to be trying very, very, very hard, which is not what one wants with Blithe Spirit. It screams "comedy." One imagines the unquiet spirit of Coward doing 360-degree revolutions in his grave. | |

| Reminds me that 50 or so years ago, “High Spirits” (the musical based on Blythe Spirit) was playing on Broadway. There was an Actor’s Fund benefit performance. Richard Burton was playing “Hamlet” on Broadway. He and Elizabeth Taylor attended. It was a thrilling night. Coincidentally, I got a letter today asking me to make a donation to The Actor’s Fund today. I shall do so, partly because I am still grateful for that evening. | |
