Confetti: putting it up to the Americans?

Post 1

Recumbentman

We went to see "Confetti" a few nights back, and, exercising expectation-caution after reading lukewarm reviews, we were delighted. Another British romantic comedy, but this time the romance is well seasoned and under the top (though some of the comedy is pure ham). A lot of pain in the development, which adds greatly to the success of the story.

British films since I don't know when have had to include one American, in order to have a hope of selling where the money is. I remember wondering was it furious resentment on the set that made them put the token Yank in "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" into such a deplorable pair of trousers.

This time the transatlantic is a Canadian, put through immeasurably worse embarrassment. Ouch!

And elsewhere, the trousers are off; was this done to put it up to the American distributors? Bravo, I say.
