Good Morning, England!
With these words did the French speaking population of Switzerland, (and no doubt France) discover the fabulously well-made (and interesting) film called THE BOAT THAT ROCKED....
I just don't understand why French poster translators think it's a good idea to substitute a perfectly good English title for another corny one in the same language.... I often wonder if they think people are that thick....
Another example Ken Loach's AE FOND KISS was renamed JUST A KISS and Baz Luhrman's STRICTLY BALLROOM was rename BALLROOM DANCING, which was just as stupid.
Anyway, wanted to tell you guys (and gals) that Marshlander and I were really pleased to see this film about pirate radios in Britain in the 60s and that we really enjoyed it with its music and plot (brilliant actors). Well recommended.
mile: mile: mile:
PS, incidentally the name they gave the French poster is obviously named after Good Morning, Vietnam but there is no relation between these two films except maybe the fact that it's about radio stations... a little thin, don't you think?
