1. A bit more detail

I don't know why sometimes TCM has no detail in their published schedule.

Spring in Park Lane (1948)
The diamond merchant's niece falls for his new footman who is really an impoverished aristocrat.
Dir: Herbert Wilcox
Cast: Anna Neagle, Michael Wilding, Tom Walls
BW-100 mins

Came fifth in the UK's Ultimate Film, in which films were placed in order of how many seats they sold at cinemas.


Maytime in Mayfair (1949)
An English playboy gentleman is broke when he inherits London's leading dress store in the posh Mayfair district.
Dir: Herbert Wilcox
Cast: Anna Neagle, Michael Wilding, Peter Graves

Opening credits:
"MAYFAIR a District in the Heart of London
"MAYFAIR FOUNDED in 1750 by Thomas Howard !
"MAYFAIR CONFOUNDED in 1920 by Michael Arlen !!
"MAYFAIR DUMBFOUNDED in 1948 by Sir Stafford Cripps !!!"

Arlen was a British-Armenian author highly regarded for his cynical romantic novels about post World War I London society. He later wrote a short story in 1940, "The Gay Falcon," that led to a series of Hollywood movies based on the Falcon character. George Sanders played the lead role in those highly popular films.

And the Peter Graves in Maytime in Mayfair isn't that Peter Graves; it's English actor Peter George Wellesley Graves, a member of the British hereditary peerage as the eighth Baron Graves, born October 21, 1911, in London.
