Sure, that's what I was playing on. If titles couldn't be used as reviews then a whole lot of us would be in a whole lot of trouble!
OK, but it then is't it as generic as reviewing, say, "Ever After" with 'Cinderella' when there are other movies to which
'Cinderella' could apply. |

Er, not really, because the only other film to which my review could apply is the film with that name. Also, I don't know Ever After but assume that it's just the Cinderella story. Shrek 2 and the film of my review aren't the same story; they just share that element. I'm only querying my rejection relative to your review's approval, not objecting to your review itself, but there are at least two films whose title is your review so that evidently is not the issue. |

Thanks for the song lyrics and memory lane comments about Richard Greene. I had no idea so many people remembered him.

Done & dusted.
My policy is never explain, never apologise. But I'm now wondering: should I have explained the one about the Avenger?
The Hillman Avenger was a dire car of 1970s Britain. One of those rust buckets that seemed desirable in the showroom but four years later looked ready for the scrapyard. So it wouldn't be the first choice of any self-respecting Messiah. And Jesus, according to the gospels, was not a great enthusiast for vengeance. So the review has two meanings.
Oh well, suit yourself as Frankie Howerd was wont to say. |

My least favorite lyric back then:
And he still found plenty of time to sing!
Sing? Robin Hood sings? Men, don't be so merry -- loose more arrows! [Oops, think I'm getting into unwanted Freudian territory. But I'm still straight!] |
