    Thank you so much for sharing. There is a whole parallel world of joy out there on RUclips, thanks to decades of cinematic excellence. Helps with the disappointments of the real world.

    Thank you for this. We need a good distraction from today's news and the horrible atmosphere of this election season, where we're seeing a level of ugliness never before witnessed. I miss the days when politics were boring...thank you again for making us smile. 🌹

    Clive Brook and Roland Culver are a delightful team. Googie Withers and Beatrice Lillie are amazing. They each have such skill to enthrall the viewers. Clive Brook is the Director. The theme weaving the Story of Humans, using their dreams was intriguing and revealing.

    This was a Play before they did this movie. All the Actors are wonderful. The tenth Duke's curmudgeonlyness. Mariah 's steadiness of obstinance. Helen's steadying and determined ways. Richard's kindness. It is an endearing display of talent. No rooms. Full. The new!! Ho!

    How gorgeous the men looked in evening dress! A saw some wedding photos in a magazine recently; the bride wore the traditional white bridal gown, but the groom looked like he was wearing pyjamas, and the bride’s mother was dressed like an extra from a zombie movie. I do like how fashion is more relaxed and fun these days, but formal clothes look so elegant on a formal occasion.

    The British have the innate ability to clearly see their own and others foibles, and then poke fun at them. As a cultural norm, they have a good sense of humour. 🇨🇦 ❤ 🇬🇧 😊

    At ~22:27 begins a dance sequence. If a dance is not invented or created anew for the movie, I think that the alternative is to copy former dance steps (FDS) of years gone by trying to conform with traditional steps, right?
    After all, if you are putting on a historical piece (regardless of stage or movie) with costumes, set decorations, etc., of a bygone era, you strive for accuracy, correct?
    I mention this because not having any way to identify, capture or communicate the FDS -- to my knowlege there's no "shorthand" or written descriptions for choreography -- such info must be passed along by word of mouth over the course of decades (amounting to centuries).
    THAT DYNAMIC -- that is the necessity of one-on-one oral transmission of FDS with kinetic illustrations over time -- intrigues me. (27 Oct 24).
    Am I communicating adequately?
    Any thoughts?

      @@cristineconnell7803 Dear Double "C": I had to give up on the movie shortly after the dance, even though I like Brook and Withers. There are no captions. The background music is too loud for me to hear accurately, especially with the English accents. Dammit! (So, regardless of yr views on dance, plz lemme know how you liked the movie).

      There is shorthand for dance, I don't remember who developed it or what it's called. Think it's French.

      @@jonny-d5v We are not CC, but the wife and I enjoyed it immensely. I know what you mean about the loud music, but advance past it and watch the rest; it's so witty and cute. Brilliant comment about dance and history; you can look at old art, you can read old music, but dance? Before photography? You're right, must have been handed down by teaching, demonstration, parent to child, teacher to pupil.
