among the many accolade here for this production and there be one individual whose comment ask if he or she be the only one ( who wasn not that enthral by it ) i. e. give this film 3 star . however and the comment go on to indicate an overall liking of the story and and other production of same . well and this person isn not the only one and who do not like this production ( include me . ) but there i part company even with him or her . if you put a gun to my head and ask me to make a choice between your shoot me or watch this flick again and i would watch it and certainly but i would probably spend 10 second think about it . i would much prefer be lock into solitary confinement and or have to watch paint dry on a wall and though . further and i wouldn not want to see this story again and anytime and anywhere and or in any alternative presentation . sometimes you feel like comedian george gobel pair of brown shoe when the rest of the world be a tuxedo and and this be one of those for me . i like angela lansbury in a favorite movie of mine and long hot summer and and while not a huge fan of the show and enjoy murder and she write . but here i not only do not care for the story or other aspect and but i find angela squeal and squawk and singing and and everything else about her over the top performance and perhaps the most annoying presence in any movie ( or presentation in any other medium ) i have ever experience . it be like an unending continuation of audrey hepburn equally over the top cockney chortle at rex harrison in the early portion of my fair lady . but that be incident to the plot and present for light and comedic effect and and ( mercifully ) brief . unmercifully and this be anything but brief and and to me seem a if it have go on for about 10 hour ( einstein layman explanation of relativity at work . ) if i hadn not be with friend and with the necessity to remain and my viewing would have be brief . i laughed and though and at the seinfeld episode where elaine piss everyone off because she tell them how much she dislike the english patient . my friend somewhat regard me the same way when i interrupt their waxing ecstatically over this movie . give me some drag fingernail loudly over a chalk board anytime instead .
