WHAT'S YOUR LEAST FAVE AUDREY FILM? THIS?


FOR ME, THIS WAS THE MOST DISAPPOINTING. MAINLY BECAUSE, AS I RECALL IT, EACH FILM WAS REPUTED TO BE HER SWAN SONG AFTERWARDS, AND WAS SO EAGERLY AWAITED BEFOREHAND. IT WAS LIKE REALLY BAD TV WRITING. NOT THE PROPER SETTING FOR THE GEM THAT IS AUDREY.

CONFESSION/SACRILEGE: I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SIT THROUGH "MY FAIR LADY." HER COCKNEY ACCENT WAS ALMOST COMICALLY BAD (BUT EAR-GRATING NONETHELESS), AND REMINDED ME OF NOTHING LESS THAN A TIN-EARED AMERICAN ACTOR AFFECTING THE BRIT ACCENT. IN ALL FAIRNESS, JUST 'CAUSE SHE'S ENGLISH-ISH, IT DOESN'T MEAN SHE CAN DO THE MYRIAD ACCENTS, ANY MORE THAN A TEXAN CAN DO BOSTON OR N.Y. ACCENTS.

I AM HARD-PRESSED TO THINK, OFFHAND, OF ANOTHER FILM OF HERS THAT I DID NOT AT LEAST LIKE. HMMMMM.

This. No contest. It's so disjointed and sleazy. I just pitied everyone involved.

As for my confession/sacrilege, I don't like TWO FOR THE ROAD. Other people find it beautiful and artsy, but the characters are so grating for me.
