Around November 2012 I was re-watching the Worst Witch series and sequels yet again and updating two of my review – comments and, surprise, surprise, the Blockbuster special low price second hand Blu-ray I purchased, Chalet Girl, it turns out that it is Felicity Jones, WW season 1 and Weirdsister, Ethel Hallow, in the lead. In a nice girl role, too, no grit in the screen persona.
Somehow, Chalet turned out to be the sort of story that I could watch dreamily, all the way through, first viewing. Even the part when Felicity is 95% naked, she wears small hand puppets. Update, gloves and a hat.
I found the second viewing, an hour later on the same day, to be dreamy as well.
Mostly it was not possible to see that it was the same actress as for that early Ethel, occasionally very. As with Ashley Tisdale, she can grunge down or pretty up. Also, she is now ten years older, mid twenties rather than mid teens.
Austrian winter sports scenery as an added extra. Tamsin Egerton, etc, as added extras to embellish the chocolate cake. The Blu-ray commentary is Felicity Jones and the director. Somehow I could not rate this as anything other than 10 out of 10. I keep the rating at that in order to remind me just how a big an impact this story had when I first saw it at that particular time.
This is too magnificent to be British made.
