Maggie Smith and young Cindy Williams
30 April 2021
Boring bank clerk Henry Pulling (Alec McCowen) is overseeing his mother's funeral. He meets his aunt Augusta Bertram (Maggie Smith) for the first time. His mother had told him that she had died. She has a shady life and nefarious plans for her nephew.

Maggie Smith is camping it up plenty. It's fun but maybe it could be more fun if Henry is a younger chap. It would allow him to be more innocent. That would make it more acceptable for him to be fooled time and again. At the very least, I want to reduce his over-two-decades-age-difference with Cindy Williams and thereby elevate the sexual heat without being creepy. Nevertheless, Cindy is giving her comedic skills the full workup and she's very cute. She really needs to join them in the final caper. In the end, this has its fun moments and Maggie is fun. It's good fun.
