   Feb 19, 2021 · Edward Hall’s new adaptation of Noël Coward’s play Blithe Spirit is so aggressively un-funny it might make audiences unfamiliar with the script's successful track record wonder why it was ever a success in the first place. Of all the movie's sins, this is the biggest.

   When is Blithe Spirit released?

   • ︎ Blithe Spirit is released on Sky Cinema from 15 January 2021. David Lean’s classic 1945 film of Noël Coward’s stage play sticks quite closely to the original. But then, since Coward himself was producing, Lean didn’t really have much choice. (By all accounts, he didn’t greatly enjoy making it.)

   Is Blithe Spirit a good movie?

   • If you've seen it live, you know it works. David Lean's 1945 film adaptation, starring Rex Harrison, Margaret Rutherford, Constance Cummings and Kay Hammond, is charming, although something is lost in translation there too. (It wasn't a box office success.) It may be that Blithe Spirit just works better for a live audience.

   Is Blithe Spirit a comedy?

   • Self-pity is not only not dramatic (it's a very weak choice, in general), it's also not funny, and "Blithe Spirit" is supposed to be a comedy. There's nothing funny about a bunch of people moaning about their lot in life. Coward's characters are many things, but one thing they are not—ever—is self-pitying.

   Why is Blithe Spirit so unfunny?

   • Edward Hall ’s new adaptation of Noël Coward ’s play Blithe Spirit is so aggressively un-funny it might make audiences unfamiliar with the script's successful track record wonder why it was ever a success in the first place. Of all the movie's sins, this is the biggest. Coward requires a light touch and nerves of steel.

   Jan 13, 2021 · Blithe Spirit unbuttons Noël Coward’s marital farce. A gung ho cast including Judi Dench and Leslie Mann dispense with the suavity (and much of the dialogue) of Coward’s 1940s play and film adaptation, with very broad results. ︎ Blithe Spirit is released on Sky Cinema from 15 January 2021.
