Review of An Evening with Rosanne Seaborn

I have seen this film several times and I still can't understand exactly how Ms. Ustinov managed to pull this off. A movie where everyone - the director, the crew, the cast, even the audience, EVERYONE seems to be in on the joke except the oblivious, eccentric, mean, old-old-old lady who happens to be starring at the center of it, blissfully carrying on in complete assuredness that she can pass playing a 19 year old romantic lead. My friends and I laughed and gasped throughout the entire thing when I first saw it. If only it was long enough to be a full-feature, more people would have been able to see it and the filmmaker would easily be considered one of the most talented and freshest to come along in years. Terrific film.
