Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

Montague: This is on a par with your other stupid accusations!
Richard: Two more brains and he'd be a half-wit.

I love this ridiculous movie, and I love Basil Rathbone, and Basil Rathbone is celebrating a birthday today, so I am showing love to this ridiculous movie he starred in. See how that works? Any Rathboners up in here? That's what I just decided "fans of Basil Rathbone" go by, by the way. Feel free to spread that far and wide. Rathboners. Hey look at this picture of him at eighteen:

Even if the end of his career finished up in unfortunate junk for many, many years he was an outstanding actor who reliably delivered whether in good guy or bad mode. Delighted we share a birthday along with my adored Mary Wickes!

That picture of him at 18 is an eye opener....who knew?

Also a fan of Rathbone. I Always ask myself what would be of the film and of his career if he had been choosen as Reth Butler in That Famous Movie. His name was in a previous list of options of producer David O. Selznick(they had worked before and the man was his admirer).
