Sloppy proofreading provokes reaction to 'Flicks' at last!!

Dear Roger,

Your anonymous movie reviewer is really onto something!

It wrote this 'review' (although it was more a catty attack on the celluloid city and its citizens) on a film called "The Best of Sheila" which sounded just like one I saw a while ago called "The Last of Sheila". One of them has gotta be a rip-off of the other and I guess only your reviewer knows.

They just couldn't be the same film. "The Last of Sheila" was quite an intelligent and entertaining whodunnit which starred among others, James Mason, while 'The Best of Sheila" as your reviewer points out, features John Mills — a mere shadow of his former self.

I mean if you didn't get the title or the movies, you'd have to at least get the actors right, wouldn't you.
