Today's film starts off like a crime story but is really a screwball comedy, a spoof of British politics, and a nice little love story. Watch Richard Burton in an offbeat role!
Roger Livesey is a wonderful actor. If you ever have a chance to see The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp or I Know Where I Am Going, please don't miss the opportunity. Both are excellent old British films -- one is about the passage of time, lost love, and what it means to be English in the best sense; the other is a love story set in northern Scotland. Roger Livesey is excellent in both.
I clicked on the link, and while I am unable to watch the film at this moment, I can tell I'm going to enjoy it just by listening to the music that accompanies the opening credits. It foretells of lots of fun and high-jinks to come:)
Can you suggest a Trollope novel to begin with? Just the first Pallister?
