And as you might know, I'm obsessed with The Lady Vanishes. Ah Gilbert, Gilbert, he certainly is an handsome one and I so love his humour. As much as I love Margaret Lockwood and the rest of the cast, I don't know what this film would have been without Michael Redgrave. I really smile when I was reading your most entertaining article. I love it when you comment on Gilbert's facial expression! A lot of fun! :)Virginie Pronovosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690434044034618183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-2656555767335451242017-06-25T16:24:22.890-07:002017-06-25T16:24:22.890-07:00I know, I love that smirk.
