    Love and Friendship

    ★★★½

    Quite nice acting between Clara Wieth (Pontoppidan) and Agnete Blom portraying two young women in a very close and loving friendship.

    Exit Smiling

    ★★★★½

    A wonderful comedy directed by Sam Taylor highlighting the personality and comic genius of Beatrice Lillie. Her portrayal of Violet, the drudge of a third rate acting company, is one of the funniest from the silent era. She made very few films afterwards and is best remembered for being a stage actress enjoying many decades of international acclaim. In this film she teams up with fellow Canadian Jack Pickford who wisely underplays his role of Jimmy Marsh letting Beatrice shine…
