Happy Birthday darling boy!

Marius Goring married his first wife, Mary Westwood Steel, at the age of 19 in November 1931 "over the anvil" at Gretna Green, Scotland. Mary was 29 and pregnant to him. His mother, Katie, had refused to give her permission as he was underage. She was most probably appalled that he had gotten a woman so much older than him with child, judging by this newspaper article from 5 September 1931, which recounted the lengths to which she went to stop them marrying.

Marius and Mary were finally legally married in England, with his mother's permission, at a London register office in February 1932, just a few weeks before his daughter Phyllida was born.

This was what he looked like in 1931. 😛😍

Sonja Wigert as Marianne Hauge and Anders Henrikson as Pastor Bengt Ahlman in Hennes lilla majestät (Her little Majesty) 1939. Directed by Schamyl Bauman.

This is a charming Swedish romantic comedy of ‘opposites attract’ featuring the distinguished stage & screen actor/director Anders Henrikson as the Swedish country parson meeting the spoiled Norwegian rich girl played by the enchanting Sonja Wigert. Love ensues, of course!

Anders Henrikson as Dr Allan Wegert and Ingrid Bergman as Anna Holm in En kvinnas ansikte (A Woman’s Face) 1938. Directed by Gustaf Molander.

This was the original Swedish version of this film - an American version with Joan Crawford, Conrad Veidt and Melvyn Douglas was produced in 1941. Both film versions are great (I love anything with Joan Crawford, and, particularly, Conrad Veidt) but I prefer the Swedish version as Ingrid Bergman is fantastic in it and I just adore Anders Henrikson.

Marius Goring as Sir Percy Blakeney/The Scarlet Pimpernel in The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel (1955) Episode 14: The Imaginary Invalids.

Sir Percy discovers that Chauvelin is blackmailing the banker Rothstein by holding his daughter, Rachelle, captive in France. In the course of the rescue, Percy uses several disguises, such as Chauvelin’s messenger Gaston, Doctor Dufay, the surgeon treating Rachelle, and even Rachelle herself.

The scene where he exchanges clothes with Rachelle, dressing in her nightie and assuming the languid air of an invalid is hilarious. “Leave me alone! I am very ill!”

I love the warm camaraderie he has with Sir Andrew (Patrick Troughton) in this episode. They were the best of friends throughout the series.

Trivia: Character actor John Laurie guest starred in this episode as Doctor Dufay and Joan Maude, who is the Duchess of Northumberland in the first scene (she’s on the right in the first photo) was in A Matter of Life and Death (1946) with Marius, playing his boss, the Chief Recorder.

He was only twenty-two years old here and just gorgeous.

Marius Goring (23 May 1912 - 30 September 1998)

On the anniversary of his 108th birthday.

Marius was twenty-two in the first portrait taken in 1934, having just started his long and distinguished stage and screen career. In the second one taken in 1984, he is seventy-two and, in my opinion, just as handsome as he was at twenty-two.
