The IMBD bio called Margaret Leighton "reedy". Humph! I prefer willowy for a tall slender girl.

It's interesting to see Cedric Hardwicke play this upstanding father whose son is accused of theft.
The same year in I REMEMBER MAMA (1948) Hardwicke played a lodger in a family's home, and he was revealed to be a crook!

His Dad, the entire family, is very nice. I would not have experienced the same "greeting."

I thought it was so nice the way his father's first concern was that Ronnie was ill.

Interesting. But apparently, Magna Carta has, what we call, a work around.

Leighton has to be pretty to pull off the the early 1900s Princess Leia look.

Leighton has to be pretty to pull off the the early 1900s Princess Leia look. Her hair and her hats in this are so unattractive to me. What a shame when she has such a soft ethereal look.

Love it. The English contributed much.
