His Lordship
His Lordship – 1932 | 77mins | Comedy | B&W
Plot Synopsis

In 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.
