It's unbelievable that someone this talented, who has so obviously NOT been forgotten, was so completely ignored by the DVD makers. I hope her films do better in the Blu-ray era and that collections of her films start turning up SOMEWHERE.

Great clip of jessie at her best just before her decline.You can see why Fred Astaire wanted her for his leading lady in Hollwood.Got all her 78s she was brilliant.

Jessie's films are available on DVD if you are persistent enough to find them. I recently bought 'First A Girl ' and "Sailing Along' from an American supplier. But it is sad to think that 70 years after these films were first made, they are still under the iron hand of copyright by foreign rights holders. So we are denied access to an adorable British icon of the 30s. She is a gem. Thanks for posting this great clip.

Yes, I agree he is brilliant as Topper.  He is also great in the movie "Madame Satan" if you ever get a chance to see it.
