Gad, Leslie Howard as Percy Blakeney does sinful things to my insides ... that scene by the fireplace ... the subtle changes of his expression, the way he moves closer to her and closer and then leans in and unf. And the way he turns away and the whole room opens up. 'ods teeth but that's great camera work.
Scept this version doesn't properly explain how Chauvelin figured out it was Percy. Bad form, Leslie, bad form.
Nononono, wanted more rapturous romantic falling into each other's arms! Some resolution of the sexual tension, zomyfreakinggod! *flails* But hahaha, why does every version of this become so deliciously homoerotic? Yeaaaaahhhh, we know the real pairing is Chauvelin/Percy. Watch Raymond Massey just come alive when Leslie walks into the room. Hee hee.
Sokay, Ray, I would too. *pats* There's just something about him. Je ne sais quoi.

What a strange little mouth Merle Oberon has. So peculiarly disagreeable. She was Anglo-Indian, you know. My granny said so.
Sink meh, I heart you, Leslie! You are so inexpressibly delicious.
