LUNCH IN THE COMMISSARY WITH BASIL RATHBONE AND ANGELA LANSBURY

A little less elegant than at the Rathbone home, but then I doubt he would be in a dressing gown, or Angela in full costume.

    This photo is priceless. I love that she is eating a burger and fries.

      I think Rathbone has fries too… but I can’t make out the other unidentified meat object on his plate… it looks like some very tough cutlet.

    What a glorious couple. Oh and boy was she a looker…with her Bette Davis eyes.

    Great picture, she’s recently been made a Dame.

    Oh my. Wasn’t Angela worried about dropping something greasy on to her costume?

      Maybe that accounts for the peculiar expression on her face? Although, being photographed while eating is never easy.

    Holmes and Jessica Fletcher! Guy of Gisbourne and Mrs Lovett! M. Valdemar and Mrs Iselin! Great picture, Vickie. 🙂

    This is a classic! I love that Princess Angela is having such a blue-collar lunch.

    (Is is just me, or does it look like Basil Rathbone is in drag?)
