Featured review
The Last Laugh
This film is frankly the totally unnecessary remake of the movie Laughter in Paradise, I simply have to ask why the hell did they bother?
Are there any possible reason for remaking any film? If it can improved on, if its a complete reappraisal or rewrite of the original. Or if there has been a substantial elapse of time, from when the original movie was screened.
None of these apply in this case the movie is a complete reenactment of the earlier film, with simply different actors.
I have marked it down because I find myself referring back, to the earlier movie and relating to that when I watch it. This is really annoying and frankly frustrating and, tends to act as a distraction to my enjoyment. I think the only way has to be to watch them if possible, without relating to the other film.
Which is a great shame Some Will Some Won't in itself as a movie its not that bad, it has after all got a superb cast ofthe cream of British comedy. It's actually put together quite well with all of the excentric characters, well fleshed out by the brilliant cast.
The actress Eleanor Summerfield is actually in both films, in Laughter in Paradise she plays Sheila Wilcott, the willing and loyal secretary to Deniston Russell. In Some will some won't Summerfield played, Deniston Russell's girlfriend Elizabeth Robson.
