THE LAW AND THE LADY
M.G.M JPREDERICK LONSDALE may have believed that he wrote The Last of Mrs, Cheyney in 1925, but a character ‘named Leonard Spiegelglass wrote a little bit more for this new version of the old comedy. The result is a series of minor abrasions on the original smooth script-and an over-sentimental-ised ending. But they are minor abrasions. As a whole the piece (produced and directed by Edwin H. Knopf) sparkles deliciously. The witticisms and epigrams flip delightfully to and froI haven’t seen Michael Wilding to such good advantage since he played Lord Goring in An Ideal Husband-and Greer Garson, strikingly brunette, is as pleasant to listen to as to watch. |
