it's got David Niven and Cary swoon Grant and Christmas- what more do you need ( to be honest I only watched it once, a long time ago and don't recall much).

I had a huge crush on Charlie back when I was a teenager as under the costume, he was good-looking, especially in his younger days. Unsurprisingly, I went off him when I read about his preference for teenagers.

Everyday is a school day no matter how old you become.
Did anyone watch Archie with Jason Issac’s I enjoyed it.

 

[House of Tea]

I didn’t realise Archie had been aired yet.

 

[SarcasmSpecialist]

I watched it on ITVX - I thought it was pretty good, if a little long. Jason Issacs is brilliant.

a lovely watch for my fellow musical fans



he sings it beautifully; i wonder why they chose to dub him in the film (though i know he’s also not the first actor that happened to).

on a side note: captain von trapp

My aunt is adamant that Eddie Redmayne resembles a young Chaplin.

(While I'm here, highly recommend the 1992 film "Chaplin" a fascinating look into his life.)

i can see it! if eddie r had his colouring (rather than being so fair), they’d look very alike. similar face shapes and noses.

I was babysitting this afternoon and while the liitle one had his nap I watched The Bishop's Wife on their Prime.
Oh my goodness it is a lovely film. So festive. Reminded me of a cross between It's a Wonderful Life and Harvey (for some reason).
Thoroughly recommended Christmas watch

 

[House of Tea]

I always think Stephen Mangan has a look of Chaplin
