      Dicky, Lord Lendale: I deliberately led you to temptation. But then, after all, I am a Duke. You know what that means. My family started stealing earlier than most others, that's all.

    Strangely Compelling Absurdist Farce
    Ustinov has imbued this "sleeper" with an outrageously twisted sense of humour, and Loren celebrates every nuance of its irreverent edges. She is as marvelous as the ancient dowager worshipped by Cecil Parker as she is as the irrepressible Corsican laundress who falls for anarchist Newman but never loses her sense of the absurdity of man. What a treat!
