'Sredni Vashtar' by Saki (1940)
A perfect film, made me cry
It is sad to think that a movie made in 1940 is much better than one made in 2007. Unlike the travesty that was "Who killed Mrs De Ropp", this movie perfectly captures the essence of the story, especially in its most important moment. When Conradin eats his victory toast, he butters it with butter, rather than with jam like he had in the 2007 atrocity. This is truly the definitive Shredni Vashtar experience. I know now never to trust any movies made today, as they are full of inaccuracies, as the director cares more about getting a paycheck than what truly made the story so memorable, in this case, the butter. -Shredni Vashtar's son
Who Killed Mrs De Ropp? (2007)
Good premise, Good acting, Good story, one disappointing moment
My dad (Shredni Vashtar) approves of every front except one. The ending to the first story (with Conradin) is extremely terrible, and is a let down to the source material. While Conradin eats his toast, both the book, and the narrator say that he "butters" it. However, in this disgrace of a movie, Conradin puts jam on the toast, not butter. This move is fine in all other aspects, but until they fix this fatal error, my review will remain a 1/10.
