Leslie Howard

If January is a month of housekeeping, then perhaps February is about small pleasures.  Anticipating a trip to Cartems Donuterie.  Talking a snowy walk in the woods around Brothers Creek.  Planning a mini-break for when the rain stops.  Right now I'm watching "Pimpernel Smith" with Leslie Howard, and watching Leslie Howard is always a pleasure.  Of course we all know him as Ashley Wilkes, but he was just as good at comedy as he was at drama.  I present the following Youtube evidence:
Exhibit A:  The Scarlet Pimpernel
Exhibit B:  Pygmalion
I tell you, I'm thisclose to falling into "they don't make them like they used to" fallacy.  And that's even before we touch on Bette Davis.  (By the way, "It's Love I'm After"?  Dream cast of Leslie Howard, Bette Davis, and Olivia de Havilland.)
