Plot SynopsisIn this musical comedy, Bert Gibbs becomes a Lord but,
for the sake of his mother, agrees to pose as the fiancé of movie
star Ilya Myona. Bert's girl Leninia eventually wins him back. His Lordship
was Jerry Verno's fourth film for Michael Powell, and his last appearance
for the director until The Red Shoes 16 years later. A 1936 British
film of the same title starring George Arliss has no connection, with
Powell's His Lordship, a musical comedy considered ‘broad' by
reviewers. |
