Movie: "The Yellow Canary"

"The Yellow Canary" (part of that Margaret Rutherford festival on TMC) has a minor character quote, "I know not, sir, whether Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare, but if he did not, it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life." The character attributes the quotation to Dr. Johnson but it was actually James M. Barrie.

"The Yellow Canary" was the film debut of Cyril Fletcher, supposedly playing himself. (I must have been in the kitchen when he appeared.) Cyril is better known today for his "Odd Odes" and fruity manner on "That's Life". He died in January of this year, aged 91.
