Delightful, Sophisticated Comedy!
This film is a treat to watch as Rex Harrison, Wendy Hiller and Cyril Cusack are in top form. The dialog is surprisingly quick and at times delightfully risqué, as the former lovers frankly recall what might have been fifty years ago.
Dame Wendy is wonderful in a change of pace role, quite different from the formidable old ladies she was known for. As Lady Evelyn, she is still attractive, sparkling and sensuous, game for anything Sir Cecil has in mind. Their drunken evening is very witty.
Cyril Cusack steals the show as Rex Harrison's devoted butler. His little chat with Lady Evelyn in the summer house is absolutely hilarious.
A must see for all who love seeing bygone stars and the sheer range and unpredictability of their talents. A treat!
