And Sir Alfred, oh Sir Alfred. Why? Whatever on earth possessed you? I can't imagine. You still had a few good films ahead of you and many good ones - and several great ones - in the past. But this, well, I won't belabor the point. It was beneath you to even entertain the notion for starters, let alone continue on with a project so beneath you and your talent, it saddens me to even write these words. Your very first few films, black and white (always superior to your technicolor films, even the very good ones) and made in England, were less amateurish (yes, that's the word I dread to apply to you) as a beginner than this poor soul of a film is. It's like having a body without a frame. Regardless, uou remain one of my favorite film makers. Even this sadness won't intrude upon that.
