City AM’s film editor Victoria Luxford says criticism of the original film “was never going to work out well. These films are marketed on nostalgia, on making you feel like you did when you saw the original, so to speak of it negatively seemed puzzling”.
The original aired in 1937. Nobody who saw it come out originally is watching this thing. What a nonsense argument.
Yes, but people have been watching it for 90 years. You don’t have to watch it when it came out to feel nostalgic for it. There’s a whole subset of films that were failures on release but became popular later.
