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.
