Florence Nightingale (1985)
Jaclyn Smith as Florence Nightingale
Whilst I found the film interesting it is a pity that Jaclyn Smith did not take the trouble to perfect her English accent as very often her pronunciation of vowels was American rather than English. Especially for somebody like Florence Nightingale who would have had a very English accent! Movie makers spend so much money on these productions and very often ignore details like this which are very important. Meryl Streep is the only American actress who can perfect any accent according to the role she is playing.
The Abominable Snowman (1957)
The Abominable Snowman 1957
Whilst the story is thought provoking the practicalities of life in the Himalayas are completely ignored. If even one bullet was fired it would start an avalanche which would carry all before it so for an American gangster style exchange of bullets to take place up there is a complete nonsense. It is also well below 0 so for them to leave their ears uncovered and strip off their jumpers inside the shelter - is laughable. It is a known fact that the locals NEVER take their clothes off and simply put on new ones over the old which eventually rot away! The lack of research into ACTUAL life in these places is remarkable. As for shouting to each over at that altitude - anybody who have been up in the mountains knows that even clapping one's hands will provoke an avalanche - shouting is a "no-no" up there!
