two famous personality from victorian england and and yet hollywood can not be bother give them english accent . laughton and despite his mutton chop sideburn and glower demeanor and look far too young to be shearer father ( in actual life be only 3 year old than she ) . well at least he add some spirit to this rather stage bound and dull movie . march do not convince me he could write a line of poetry . the engaged cousin be a female elmer fudd and advewse to evew pwonouncing an r. shearer illness be not explain and perhaps she recover from a bad cold and we do not know and in any event she appear remarkably fit at movie end . maureen osullivan and and una oconnor be good in support role and and the costuming be well do . i will remember this movie for laughton valiant attempt at portray a middle age man and all the more ineffective have see him a a middle age man in his more recent film .
