No it’s not!
PG and I were talking today about things we love that have changed over the years…of course this revolved around food… I kicked things off by saying I had recently had a mint cornetto and the ice cream taste had changed which was a huge disappointment because every Summer this is the thing I look forward to most; literally as the sun comes out on an early May morning I can be seen scurrying to my local newsagent to pick my ice cream treat, and this continues throughout the Summer months (or as long as the sun lasts – it doesn’t taste the same without the sun!).
So here’s my point; if it isn’t broken don’t try and fix it…why would you? It sold well before, it’s been around years so it’s obviously popular, please Mr Walls bring the old taste back my summer won’t be the same without it!
This does however bring me to another change that has unsettled me…why are they remaking My Fair Lady? What a beautiful film it was and still is, with Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle– who cares that Marni Nixon dubbed the songs – it was a beautiful performance & with a voice that burst ear drums – what more could you want?
I can bet your bottom dollar (to quote another great musical film – Annie) that Miss Keira Knightley won’t be singing, which further infuriates me because a) why remake it when it doesn’t need to, be original and b) why cast an actress that can’t sing again?
Go on take a risk Mr Mackintosh and cast a brilliant unknown actress that can charm the birds out of the trees with her singing; her talent alone may then be the reason for many bums on seats rather than just her name & God knows no other West End producer is doing it!
Well now I’ve got that off my chest I shall go and calm down with a nice cup of peppermint tea – I think I need it!
Happy Days
