therealfuster Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 as it is about a butler who takes charge when his dimwitted Lord of the Manor has no idea what to do in an emergency. This was made into a British film in 1957, from the J.M. Barrie play and stars Kenneth More, Sean Connery's ex-wife, Diane Cilento, Sally Ann Howes, Cecil Parker and Martita Hunt. Maybe you could request it as a possible movie for TCM? I'm assuming your second question is not about someone from the same movie, so I might venture as a guess perhaps Eleanor Powell, who seemed to me to dance ramrod straight, but there are others who it could be also. Maybe someone else has some ideas on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
