I was thinking how the real life Greville Wynne looked a lot like Terry-Thomas and then I remember that at least three critics have claimed that BC looks a lot like Terry-Thomas in this! Neither of them said it in an offensive way but I'm surprised that they didn't do some research before writing something about a film. I tend to google for info about movies immediately after I watched them and I don't professionally write about them. TBF I think two of them said it on social media but still. I mean they could have said that BC looked like him but that the person who he was playing looked a lot like the comedian so the characterization was great!
Also I remember another reviewer talking negativity about TCW and ending her rant saying BC was increasingly looking like Dennis Quaid. Again in a negative way as if Dennis Quaid wasn't a very attractive man!!! But also, I was surprised at her lack of perception. BC's face looked slightly different (to Sherlock or his real life self with much more prominent cheek bones) because the prosthetics on his teeths/mouth that he uses for some roles. He wasn't dramatically changing his features in real life, he was playing a real life character and was characterized as him. And again, maybe old Edison image is more famous but if you look his younger photos, the similarities are there.
Critics are very lazy nowadays!
