The Lad 1935 Gordon Harker, Betty Stockfield. Comedy drama.

Фильм және анимация

Another comedy of mistaken identity with Gordon Harker as a recently released ex-convict who goes on the trail of an emerald necklace, but is mistaken for a detective. This film (like The Private Secretary) was produced by Julius Hagen at Twickenham Studios in the UK in 1935 and has been unseen since this showing on BBC2 nearly 30 years ago. The film has never been released for purchase on any format and it may now be an orphan work under the meaning of UK copyright law.

    What a delight! A lovely complicated and surprisingly saucy plot, some excellent gags, and the amazing talent of Gordon Harker with his hilarious faux posh act. If he had been borne a generation later, he might have been a major sitcom or Ealing comedy star, but he seems largely forgotten now. And Jimmy (Sebastian Shaw) was of course Darth Vader after they took off his helmet!!

    It is really interesting sometimes to look at the life stories of these actors. Here are something I found out about some of this cast... Gordon Harker The chacter of John Harker in Dracular was based on his father Jane Carr was one of the first faces to be broadcast by the BBC. Her husband was a partner in Logie Baird Company Michael Shepley was also a reknown cricketeer Geraldine Fitzgerald Out-lived them all. She died in 2005 aged 91 Sebastian Shaw Was Luke Skywalker's father in the Return of the Jedi

    Thank you, you never disappoint with your offerings. I could not stop from beginning to the end. I've read others thought this a bore with too much dialog, but I know what I like and I like this.

    Thanks for posting, hadn't seen this one before :) it is a bit of a slog before last 1/3rd, but it's necessary to set up the conclusion and worth watching some very good actors :)

    I'm sure the continuity announcer at the start of the film introduces Gordon Harker as George Harker. Whatever, it was an excellent movie short with the always dependable Gordon - or is it George???

    Yes, the continuity announcer does refer to 'George' rather than 'Gordon'!
