— you shouldn’t have informed me about your post! Anyway, is there anything new under the sun to be said about HBCigarette Girl? I don’t know whether I dislike her more in her current ongoing typecasting as filmdom’s favorite undernourished slut, or in the days when she darkened the decor of damn near every Brit costume piece.
All I can say is that I own three movies where she’s a cast member — and upon every viewing, the fast-forward button gets a workout. No, not strictly true — in HOWARDS END and KEEP THE ASPIDISTRA FLYING, she’s bearable. MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN is pretty unbearable all the way round, so it doesn’t count. But LADY JANE — now that one is painful whenever the real actors aren’t on screen.
