VE Day: What was making us laugh 75 years ago?
A look back at the comedy on air in June 1945.
Chortle, 8th May 2020Noël Coward apparently fell out with director David Lean over this film adaptation of his 1941 play, but it's hard to see why. It retains all the wit of the original, and Rex Harrison and Margaret Rutherford give great performances. Harrison plays a novelist whose dead first wife is accidentally summoned by a medium (Rutherford) in a seance.
