The Millionairess (Maggie Smith, 1972). Part 5 of 11

Starring Maggie Smith and Tom Baker. Part 5

[@preppyparisienne]

The way she drawls when addressing Polly is frickin' awesome. Especially the way she says "spine" and then strides out of the room

[@LynxSouth]

The range of Maggie Smith's acting talent is staggering, simply superb: voice, inflection, tone, gesture, facial expression, posture, movement, use of scenery and props, and whatever else may be involved. She masters it all!

[@suzannemoogan9675]

It has always been beyond genius, she has always had entire possession of her craft, amazing woman and performer. The late Charles Gray was an actor always blessed with wonderful timing.

[@user-xz3ks7dk9f]

His good looks will give you pleasing sensations down your spine...

[@silverkitty2503]

Yes but that is no good if said good looks have no soul nor heart ..its like a corpse! .. you cant sleep with the dead there are LAWS

[@ritabiro5105]

Very nice actress in the main role

[@MsBedwell]

She is such a wonderful actress - thanks for posting this !

[@mjremy2605]

It is funny that Maggie Smith confronted Polly Smith (Girlfriend) in previous episode! In time, Epiphania Whats-her-name Maggie Smith would become Dowager Countess Grantham Egyptian Doctor Tom Baker would become Dr Who Blenderbland Charles Gray would be the Bond Villain and ... Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's older brother in Jeremy Brett series. What wonderful actors. Maggie Smith can hold you spellbound for hours. How does she do it? Hypnotic.

Profound truths uttered in this episode regarding money

[@christinemartin63]

So funny ... 😂

[@mayj257]

Doc says 'Anyone else need my help I hear a body fall down the steps' ...ha ha

[@TheXmeimei]

YOU KILLED ME！🤣 I'm waiting to see her sue the dead man.

[@milagroscastillo6647]

This is so funny and delightful 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@mikedowns8293]

8:59 = Enter The Doctor (Time traveller "Who" as well as "The Egyptian"). Tom Baker

[@GGiblet]

*Tom Baker in a fez = peals of joy from the welkin*

[@jimjimmyjames59]

"I'm an Egyptian doctor..." Easily the most inelegant piece of exposition Shaw ever wrote. But what great performances!!!

[@barnabasfrid]

1:05 James Villiers is perfection!

[@Blatino]

You've killed me!!!

[@vantheman1238]

Cate Blanchett must have studied Maggie Smith in The Millionairess for her part as Jasmine in Blue Jasmine.

[@helenamcginty4920]

I must buy the play and read it. I hope I can wipe the memory of maggie smith being maggie smith.

[@reinadegrillos]

She is the one, the ONLY ONE!!!

[@ContrastY]

money is POWA! 5:20

[@glasshousefuture6836]

I wonder if Ramsay could save this Hotel Hell 😅

[@loggats]

Bunny Biedenharn that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! The film is hilarious, and your cigarettephobia is fairly funny too.

[@danielcaruso946]

Tom Baker wearing a fez and is a doctor. Hmmm… Sounds familiar🤔

[@lindaloe]

DAME MAGGIE IS The Best AS DOWAGER COUNTESS GRANTHAM IN DOWNTON ABBY!!

[@shirleysavitts9647]

Adrian, reminds me of a younger the one who played Mycroft, Sherlock Holmes older brother. could it be?

[@pedanticradiator1491]

Yes that’s Charles Grey who did Mycroft in the ITV Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett he also played Blofield in Diamonds are Forever

[@TheJadiea]

Polly's a bit.....she's something, isn't she?

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

Women like that were very popularly represented in 70s television. Men missing a submissive woman who only aims to please and has no thoughts of herself.

[@kaylajames9334]

jadiea muldrew something is right. That is a kinder way explaining what she is.

[@fernandogumba]

7:36 what did he call her father?

[@BeeLZBeeb]

"An affectionate parent, amiable enough to explain your tiresome father fixation, as dr Freud would call it. He must have been quite the most appalling bore ever to devastate even a rotary club"

[@colinmcphan]

Maggie Smith is great but so is Tom Baker (brilliant actor). Having Tom Baker not appear until the last minute of part 5 is such a huge waste of a great talent. Why do you have...... "and starring Tom Baker" in the description when most of the other characters get more screen time? I hope he has a lot more screen time in the rest of the episodes!

[@salviaofficinalis02]

L M A O 😃

[@MNFahmiHazizi]

5:18 she speak like a true Capricorn she is!!

[@RkristinaTay]

Poor Bernard Shaw never realized the horrors of socialist outcomes. He was an innocent.

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

Socialism is great when it's done properly. The Scandinavian countries prove that.

[@soniavadnjal7553]

Not really socialist. They're as capitalist as any other.

[@dadodydo]

@@Sunshine-zm1fx Really?

[@megaswenson]

Entertaining. But not enough so to compensate for all the cigarettes. Can't watch any more...

[@GGiblet]

despite what the voices may tell you, the smoke can't actually get thru the screen

[@h.huffen-puff4105]

Boo Spanyer Cassiopeia Lol!

[@jimjimmyjames59]

How right you are, Bunny...you should leave!

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

It's clear you were not alive in the 70s, when cigarettes were smoked everywhere including on airplanes and in restaurants.

[@margolenney6032]

Oh poor you, yes I must admit the smoke ooozzzing out of my ipad is clouding my vision. Forget the writing & the superb acting, just poor you offended by some smoke.
