Before getting onto this, just a warning that today’s “jazz” is not (cough) jazz as we know it from the 20s … two are different and later, one is from Fats Waller.

And so to AKH who mentioned that yesterday’s film was better than the reviews suggested. Reviews are tricky to give the right weight to … Rot Toms for a start are Critics’ Reviews, so grain of salt … IMDb are mixed … some US, some Brit, some old, some younger, some male, some female etc. Even selecting a “middling” rating review still does not hit it.

Same issue arose with this quaint Holmes. For a start, I like these two in the key roles and yes, the series is a strange Anglo-American mix but still entertaining for all that. See what you think.
