Leslie Howard

Went for a stroll at the weekend and ended up walking past a Blue Plaque denoting where Leslie Howard lived. One of the things I love about London. The history of it, often unexpected and always random

May 1932 “Stage Life in the Raw” Alexander Clark, Jr.’s report on Broadway productions of the day, including a script read-through with the cast of We Are No Longer Children. -Vanity Fair May 1932 #TheatreThursday 🎭

If you've ever wondered if a propaganda film can also be a great film, watch 49th Parallel - written to persuade Americans to join Canada and Britain in the war. As always with P&P, it's very interested in the distinction between a German and a Nazi.
