A Flea in Her Ear (1968)
Marvelously entertaining lighthearted picture.
If movies are supposed to be entertaining, this one rates at the top. It is lighthearted, and a delight from beginning to end. I'm not sure what the message is, but few movies have the ability, as this one did so well, to brighten my day -- several days, in fact. It is bright, light, and cheerful, with just enough attention to human foibles to help it ring true -- if anything so cheerful could accurately reflect more than a little reality. Only superb. excellent, marvelous. Possibly it would be a little better if longer. For me, this is one of the best examples of the filmmakers art. For those in search of a little fun, I couldn't recommend it more highly. See it.
Pride and Prejudice (1940)
Brightly written intelligent commentary on British manners.
This is an entertaining film that makes serious commentary in an amusing fashion and without belaboring it. A few of the characters are depicted somewhat stereotypically. It is well photographed and presents interesting scenes of life at the time. I think it was well staged, with characters appearing in meaningful and memorable ways. Nuances of expression during action scenes were well presented.
