Basil Rathbone as Paul Reynard in Rio (1939)

#watched this one this evening #rathbone unrepentantly villaining it up was a joy #and I was a big fan of his devoted henchman #but the rest was rather patchy #rio 1939 #basil rathbone's beautiful face

Basil Rathbone in The Mad Doctor (1941) George and his kitty requested by @rauferes

Watched this tonight. Primarily a swivel-eyed rant about the dangers of psychiatry, with such heavy coding between Rathbone (marrying and murdering boring heiresses to keep him in the style to which he has become accustomed) and his flower-arranging, cat-sketching, poloneck-wearing sidekick that I genuinely began to suspect it was deliberate. This scene, in which Rathbone pets his cat, lounges decoratively on a sofa and bitches about his now-murdered wife's taste in interior design, was definitely one of the highlights.

The handsome Leslie Howard 🌹

He was an English actor, director, producer and writer!

Howard wrote many stories and articles for The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair and was one of the biggest box office draws and movie idols of the 1930s!

#it was a crime he never got to play Lord Peter Wimsey #you'd need to dig a hole for him to stand in but that'a okay #leslie howard #the ongoing facecasting agenda
