Shirley, You Can't Be Serious.
11 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
It's a Mod, Mod, Mod, Mod World, and when there are seven of you, you need a lot of wardrobe, not to mention a ton of wigs. Shirley gets a ton of both, more than she had in "What a Way to Go". What she is lacking is a script of quality, substance and sustained interest. Yes, she has some amazing co-stars (most notably Peter Sellers 12 years before "Being There" and Michael Caine a year after "Gambit"), but with poor material, it becomes a convoluted bore. The segment with Caine as a man stalking the married Shirley from a restaurant to her bus home to outside her door is probably the most interesting, and that isn't saying much. Shirley isn't at all to blame, but the result turns out to be an overlong drag show.
