English Shakesperean actor (Sir) Laurence Olivier wasn't very fond of making films, however, his silver screen performances were so impeccable and professional, you can swear he was born to do it.
THE DIVORCE OF LADY X is a delightful light comedy, elegantly conducted, though notably dated.
Due to a heavy fog, some people who are taking part in a Ball at a hotel are prevented from travelling and advised to spend the night there.
Logan, an irritable, handsome lawyer refuses to share his room with a couple of women, but is persuaded to let Leslie (played by beautiful Merle Oberon), a perky, charming lady, sleep at his room, after she daringly imposes herself on him.
Their first acquaintance is a bit turbulent, but they soon hit it off, although he thinks she is married, which results in a couple of embarrassing, deliciously funny situations.
Watch out for Ralph Richardson playing a small role.
Olivier and Oberon had an incredible chemistry on screen.
WUTHERING HEIGHTS is another marvellous film they did together.
If old-fashioned romantic comedies catch your fancy, don't miss this wonderful film.
My rating: 10 out of 10
