Her Last Affaire

Michael Powell's 'society drama’ involving clandestine romance and presumed murder, and glorious comic double-act from Googie Withers and John Lurie.

Powell’s adaptation of Walter Ellis’s successful play was the most prestigious production he had made to date. A ‘society drama’ involving suspicion, clandestine romance and presumed murder, its cast of accomplished stage actors are nonetheless entirely upstaged by the glorious comic double-act of Googie Withers as mischievous maid Effie, and John Laurie as her pious, disapproving employer.
