История

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kate Ellen Louisa Cutler (14 August 1864 – 14 May 1955) was an English singer and actress, known in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as an ingénue in musical comedies, and later as a character actress in comic and dramatic plays. She is possibly best known for walking out of the lead role in Noël Coward's The Vortex in 1924 shortly before opening night. Cutler performed in films between 1929 and 1938, including Such Is the Law (1930), The Great Gay Road (1931), Lord of the Manor (1933), Come Out of the Pantry (1935) and Moscow Nights (1935). Her last film was Pygmalion in 1938. The Manchester Guardian said of her in an obituary notice, "She proved that an actress who can play the lead in musical comedy can go on to play the lead in anything else. ... She was a really accomplished actress with that indefinable quality which we call style." Cutler's second husband, Major Charles Dudley Ward, predeceased her. She died at her home in London, age 90.

Grand Old Lady
Этот фильм - первая экранизация пьесы Бернарда Шоу о превращении вульгарной цветочницы Элизы Дулиттл в изысканную светскую даму под чутким руководством профессора фонетики Генри Хиггинса и полковника Пикеринга. Бернард Шоу написал свою пьесу под вдохновением древнегреческого мифа о скульпторе Пигмалионе, который создал статую Галатеи — девушки до того прекрасной, что он влюбился в нее и стал просить Афродиту оживить свое создание. Богиня любви вдохнула жизнь в Галатею, и Пигмалион женился на ней.

That's a Good Girl is a 1933 British comedy film directed by Jack Buchanan and starring Buchanan, Elsie Randolph and Dorothy Hyson. The film was based on a musical show of the same title that opened at the Lewisham Hippodrome on 19 March 1928, in which Jack Buchanan also starred. The music was written by Joseph Meyer and Phil Charig, with lyrics by Douglas Furber. The film omitted much of music of the original show, but popularised one song in particular, Fancy our Meeting. The song remained a Jack Buchanan favourite and a version of it was also recorded by Al Bowlly shortly after the film's release.
