Good old Colin Gordon. Helps Felix Aylmer out with a small dry at 9.32. No. Colin is late with his line. Aylmer who is waiting to be interrupted again by Gordon, as a moment before, mumbles and bumbles to cover, then Gordon remembers, turns to Aylmer, cool as a cucumber, says the line then makes it look like he's the one who's saved the 'bumbling' Aylmer's skin. Seamless. Aylmer is dead letter perfect in this, apart from that moment. Gordon is a wily old rogue. Top old school rep training in action. Textbook. Lovely. Full marks.
The wonderful Felix Aylmer .. among so many memorable names and faces of British entertainment. Thank you for sharing this little treasure. ;o)
