Two Tickets to London (1943)

Two Tickets to London is a very nice film from 1943 involving drama and romance. Two of the main supporting roles are done by the inimitable Barry Fitzgerald as a sea captain and C. Aubrey Smith as an Admiralty detective. Enjoyable and well worth watching.

C. Aubrey Smith was a lantern-jawed actor with a magnificent handlebar moustache who epitomized the British empire in the Victorian era perhaps more than any other actor. He is one of those character actors who is instantly recognizable to fans of movies of his era, but whose name always escapes us.
