Suggestion for Melissa McCarthy

Melissa, if you're reading this(which is a very chancy assumption, but work with me here, folks), I've got a suggestion for getting payback on Rex Reed for his nasty-ass comments on your weight in his review of "Identity Thief":

Sponsor coast-to-coast showings(with all proceeds going to charity)of Rex Reed's...er...classic screen work in THIS film...
I'm guessing it's in public domain by now if all remaining prints haven't been melted out of compassion for movie fans everywhere:

(for those too young to have been traumatized by hearing about this moment of cinematic magic, Rex's character, Myron Breckenridge, was a young Southern lad who wanted a sex change operation...then got it...after which, he suddenly looked exactly like Raquel Welch-although Rex's pre-op self kept walking around with Raquel, for some reason. Production numbers and random clips from old movies-some of which were edited out following legal action-ensued. The film also featured a very old Mae West and John Huston in an American flag shirt).
