2 future superstars help save a little dog
2 January 2024
If you're a fan and have ever been curious about what Vivien Leigh's film career was like pre-GWTW (or Rex Harrison's, decades before My Fair Lady) this is a good one to check out. It's a modest-but-cute little film. Many good plot synopses are found here at IMDb, so I'll add that if you're mainly used to Leigh's and Harrison's performances in bigger-budget classics, you need to be prepared for the vastly different style of movies like 'Storm in a Teacup'. Once you get used to it, the story moves fast, as does the clever dialogue. Depending on the condition of the print, you may want to opt for subtitles--both for the leads' clipped British delivery and the thick accents of the others (Sara Allgood speaks at the speed of light, but she's wonderful in the part.) All told, it's worth a watch.
