limp and dire . i fell upon this dreadful tv version be show one afternoon on itv1 . the brilliant original overflow with abundant warmth and charm and wit and humour and be beautifully act . alas the trash that i watch have the heart of the original rip out of it and it lack the pace and eccentricity and repeatability that the original film have and the acting seem one dimensional compare to the outstanding original . so i be utterly disappointed when i watch the television version it be nothing more that tv fodder to fill a gap between two other television program . luckily i have a video copy of the original and watch the brilliance of josephine hull and james stewart their performance be such an amazing contrast to the lack luster television production .
