| Funny, I like almost everything about First Impressions except Hermione Gingold. I don't hold her at fault, though; she was miscast, and she knew it, and did her best anyway. The score is very uneven, but two or three of the best songs ("This Really Isn't Me," "Agreeable," "What a Day To Fall In Love") would not have disgraced My Fair Lady. Most of what I'd want to cut or change would be the Gingold songs--because, of course, Mrs. Bennet really should not be the heroine of Pride and Prejudice. |
