I love it. Tough, intelligent, funny, but not too harsh on fat Henry. Vivid support roles (Lanchaster is excellent negotiaiting his marriage), everybody is dignified in the last moment, and that includes Henry, of course. Wonderful scenes in the sweatty kitchen, as a prelude for the best Laughton monologues.

"9.3 Iso-Britannia/A. Korda Pikkutuhmuutta linnapihalla. Charles Laughton röyhtäilee ja syö suu auki. Lavasteet ovat hienoja."

"Yrjö Naurutonni perseilee Oscarin arvoisesti näemmä. Eli hekottelee ja mättää kanankoipia. Vakavankin tästä olisi kai saanut, mutta ihan absurdin rajoille tämä menee. "
