(6,384 posts)1. Not so fussed about the pin-up girls,
I love Leslie Howard's Scarlet Pimpernel. Perfect realisation.
And The Divorce of Lady X is pure farce, and perfectly played by Olivier. Even Merle Oberon was good in this (less so, I thought, in The Scarlet Pimpernel).
Sadly, couldn't find any individual scenes on Youtube, but I recommend the film to anyone who enjoys this style of sophisticated comedy and hasn't yet seen it.
