Dame Angela Lansbury is a screen legend. Most younger audiences would know Angela for playing mystery writer Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote as well as the witch in Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks. We discuss two of Angela's much earlier roles in this episode of When Movies Were Good. In The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) Lansbury plays the love interest of Dorian Gray, a young and wealthy Londoner who makes a wish to stay forever young while his portrait ages for him and takes on the consequences of all his actions. Based on the novel by Oscar Wilde. In the next movie The Court Jester (1955) Lansbury is a Medieval courtier in a satirical play on the Robin Hood genre. Danny Kaye brings all his slapstick skills to good use to foil the plans of an evil usurper king.
