I have now watched
Blithe Spirit (1945) twice, and I didn't like it either time.
The Emperor's New Clothes (2002) was a nice change, but it felt like something was missing. I really wanted to like it because I'm a great fan of Simon Leys, who wrote
Chinese shadows, as well as
The Death of Napoleon, the book the movie was based on. I can't say exactly why I liked
Enigma (2002). Maybe because it was done
with subtlety, emphasizing mood or because I liked the
look and feel of a classic British spy thriller and it made me feel
as if somebody out there still has some vague notion of how to make a commercial movie.
