Some lines that always stuck with me: Cop: "It's a free country, don't you know that?" Wadsworth: "I didn't know it was THAT free."
-
Wonderful review. Spot on. Miss Scarlett and White were always my favorite. "I hated her so much! It was like flames. Flames! On the side of my face. Breathing, Heaving breaths." lol
-
I like where she confesses her motive for murder -- kind of a surprise -- that's why I liked it the most.
-
Funny. Lots of suspicious things. Love the introduction of the wacky "dubious" characters.

+Erin M - re: 'I always loved Scarlet (01:55)...' - Sure, she was entertaining, could see why she'd be a favorite character pick; fiery, cheerfully cynical, deadpan delivery and snappy dialogue, and so on. Some solid one-liners in the script, plus the actor just played her with panache, plenty of spirit and a bit of an edge. The 'one plus two...' scene was particularly entertaining, which is why we picked it for one of the Twins Theatre segments - just a marvelously ridiculous scene. (Segment mentioned above - SPOILER - 05:02) Both actors were great in that scene, but it must've been tricky for them not to laugh; perhaps one of the only reasons that either one could keep a straight face on was they were trying to remember the way their lines went. Actually, it must've been tricky for anyone (including the crew) to keep a straight face while filming this entire movie.

+Jasanna Czellar re: 'This is one of my favorite stories. :) Always fun to watch!' - Can see why it could be one of your favorite stories - just fun to watch, exactly. There's always something going on, onscreen. The actors did really well in this one - they also had a solid script to work from, and the performances are so over-the-top they're often just quite funny to watch, never mind listening to the great way they deliver their lines. You could probably even watch a second time with the sound muted, and still laugh, just given the physical comedy; the actors here were really engaged in this one and gave some amusing performances. The butler character (played by Tim Curry) was especially good. re: 'Good review!' - Thank you! We just wanted to be sure to give kind of the 'feeling' of the film - kind of a fast, comical, whimsical kind of energy - and worked hard to put the review together, so we're very pleased to receive such a nice compliment. Thanks!
