MR GRUMPY’S FILM REVIEW
Well turned out with a 1930s face,
good figure and authentic panty lines,
she looks the part and has a sense of place,
she clips her speech, eats nicely when she dines.
I should be happy with her as an actress
but I’m not. That interview she gave
to launch the film, cool casual sluttishness
for me consigns this movie to the grave.
And it’s not prudishness, the girl should think
before she lets her real self interface
with rôles she plays and not cause chaps to blink
with disbelief when she’s in stays and lace.
It’s never good to harm the parts you play
by seeming crass and coarse in what you say.
