That is of course the motto of the RAF and means "Through adversity to the stars"

But it's also a very sexy film, full of flirtation and innuendo.
See my description of it as The sexiest film of the 1940s

What a great film and yes, very flirtatious and sexy

Did anyone else notice that most of the sweets appear to be glued in the jar and there's one that hangs right on the edge and doesn't fall out. From Ghost of St Michael's - "OE"? "Old Etonian" "Oh, Aye"!

Terry-Thomas

Last evening I viewed yet again Brothers in Law, the Boulting Brothers film - a first class comedy of intelligence yet the short scene where Terry Thomas plays the Spiv with Ian Carmichael as his Council will show, yet again, the wonderful comic timing and characterization of Terry Thomas who stole the whole film in my view in those few minutes on screen

'You should be kind to us normals, there are not many of us left you know'!
