Sylvia Scarlett (1935 George Cukor)

Well acted, somewhat bizarre film, based on a novel by Compton MacKenzie (author of 'Whisky Galore' and the 'Highland' novels which inspired Monarch of the Glen), written by Gladys Unger, John Collier and Mortimer Offner is particularly suited to Katharine Hepburn, who would drive herself to set in trousers. She's very athletic and good playing a young man, and kept reminding me of David Bowie (Q says 'Station to Station' and 'Heroes' era). Cary Grant though is also good as rather unlikeable character, Edmund Gwenn good as fretful father, Brian Aherne very natural (almost modern) as painter, Dennie Moore the unfaithful singer.

Natalie Paley aka Princess Natalia Pavlovna Paley - a most interesting lady

Yes. Princess Paley narrowly escaped the fate of the rest of Tsar Nicholas's family, was later involved with Jean Cocteau, Antoine de Saint-Exupery and Erich Maria Remarque (who based a character on her in 'Shadows in Paradise')!

Good music from Radio Pictures regular Roy Webb, photographed by Joseph August.

Funnily enough it was on TV the very next day.
