Indeed, Sir

ohhh. Sweet. I used to adore Leslie Howard when I was about 13, but that was back in the day when we didn't even have a video player let alone Netflix, and I never saw this picture. From what I saw he usually played characters who were very intelligent but often had a bit of British eccentricity about them. More of a Peter Wimsey than a Bertie Wooster, but I like to think (like Florence Craye and Honoria Glossop) that Bertie has more to him than meets the eye.

Leslie Howard did a lot of work to drum up support for the Allies in WW2 and made propaganda movies. He was shot down while flying home from Spain in a civilian aircraft - it's rumoured that he was in Spain on a secret mission from Churchill.

Anyway sorry - I get a bit dippy about Leslie Howard.

I don't think there was much of a connection between Algernon Moncreiff and his manservant Lane in the Importance of Being Ernest, but there dialogue is fun if you thirst for good witty man/valet dialogue. And it's Oscar Wilde, too, so who can pass that up.

'Did you hear what I was playing, Lane?'
'I did not think it polite to listen, sir.'

I can totally hear those words passing between Bertie and Jeeves after he's struck the final chord for 47 Ginger Headed Sailors.
