Theatre of Blood (1973)
Insulting and Way Overrated
Tried to watch this. Couldn't finish it. A monumentally bad film. The stupidity of people in general, including Scotland Yard, may be exaggerated somewhat in movies, but this strained any degree of believability. There are far too many examples to list. Silly and frustrating.
Bonanza: The Smiler (1961)
Gripping Premise, but Sadly a Letdown
To me, this was insulting. Yes, an interesting premise, and some haunting, ominous undertones. I have been watching Bonanza for 50 or more years. I like many of the episodes. This one let me down.
I had to wonder, how did supposedly smart people act so much like dunces. How did the writers goof around with this so much. Sure, it was a TV show. I don't expect perfection. I do expect a fair degree of competence.
I think is an example of a good 30 minute show presented as a 60 minute mistake. A half hour might have been cramped, but the longer period yielded to much idle brain time for the writers. Again, some good acting and situations. Still, aggravating and disappointing.
