Regarding Alistair Sim.

There was question on the BBc quiz Eggheads today about which Scottish Actor played the headmistress in The Belles of St Trinians.

The slightly less than informed contestant said named an English actress!

Of course it was Alistair in drag!

No they most certainly did not beat the Eggheads! Not many teams do but its often not because the Eggheads are so good but that the teams they put against them are so bad! It can be painful seeing the guesses to even rudimentary questions!

No it was Alistair all right. There was a tradition of actors playing female parts, often quite convincingly, on screen, which follows an earlier tradition when men played all female roles. Shakespeare in Love is correct upon this point.

Thanks Glen, the film I had in mind was The Bridal Path.

Wee Geordie is on "Brovo" here in Canada every few months, usually in the wee hours of the morning. That's how I first saw it a year or so ago. Great movie (though I like the book better). I might have to order it now!
