i love watch early colour film you mean those 40 clothes weren not all grey . margaret rutherford dominate this movie . her eccentric garb be actually rather attractive and yes and she have an amazing hourglass figure . but i feel she be give her head rather too much . she probably develop this characterisation over many performance and and nobody tell her if it get a laugh and leave it out . she do too much derange fool about when she suppose to be surprisingly down to earth . the madame arcati joke be that medium be usually portray a wispy female in long drapery . arcati behaves like a retired headmistress ( we will really put our back into it . ) . the contrast between her breezy and commonplace manner and her wacky belief isn not really bring out . just because all the actor be english ( apart from cummings ) and the american feel they have to use the word brit and stiff and lip and upper . oh and give it a rest . the three main character lose their temper constantly and make risqué remark ( do he make love to you . yes and but very discreetly he be in the cavalry . ) .
