Hi Im french could u tell me if Bette davis is doing a british accent and if nowadays angela lansbury has an american accent?? thank you!!

[picturefan2009]

@sanity333 Ms. Davis' character is American. I would say that Ms. Lansbury speaks like a Brit who have lived most of her life in States.

Sorry but, this is NOT part 1!! What Happened???

[picturefan2009]

@barbarasprague I've only uploaded the scenes with those three actresses.

Maggie plays the bitter viper tongued secretary to perfection. She is just so damn good. Britain should have declared her a national treasure.

All 3 ladys are just amazing

[DRush76]

I wonder if Maggie Smith remembered Bette Davis' "grande dame" act in this movie, when she did "GOSFORD PARK" and "DOWNTON ABBEY".

Hey, that's Jessica Fletcher! This movie is delicious. But where is the beginning??

[TheZaffarumair]

[TheZaffarumair]

[yodasodaskoda]

@picturefan2009 fucking retarded

[williamjon28]

if not mistaken Anthony Powell won oscar in this film for best costone designer

[Wolfcrag85]

The tango scene is made even funnier by the contrast it establishes between the disastrous Lansbury/Niven pair and the elegance exuded by the other two (Hussey/Ustinov and Chiles/MacCorkindale). Priceless.

[bluewingtip]

I say, “Camera man! Put that camera on Angela Lansbury when she is doing the tango!” For heaven’s sake, I could care less about looking at anyone else while Angela is being brilliant! …..And I just love Bette’s body language at 6:39!

@omarinem... What a shame that many people don't read these days... And many people won't read or watch anything they consider "Old". "Old" meaning more then say 5 or 10 years ago of course... They are truly missing out on so much...
