“Between you and me…”
FOLLOWING RECENT disappointing reviews for the latest screen adaptation of Blithe Spirit, I’m reminded Dame Judi Dench (playing Madame Arcati) is left undeservedly contending with an unwanted tally of critical duds of late. Blithe Spirit follows hot on the heels of the old girl’s disastrous involvement in Cats, as well as her unfortunate casting as a gravel-voiced fairy in Artemis Fowl. Who are those responsible for so woefully misadvising our most esteemed living actress in these advancing years? In the spirit of defending all that makes Britain great, shouldn’t such individuals be named and shamed?
