Thank You, Jeeves! (1936) - The Better Version

This movie - the earliest extant Jeeves adaptation - is overwhelmingly terrible and you shouldn't watch it. However, despite being completely out-of-character, about 25% of it is honestly still kind of fun. So as a collaborative effort between myself and @beetle-goth, we are happy to present you with a supercut of all of the scenes in this movie that are entertaining, with nearly all the rampant racism and sexism cut out. Will it make the movie good? Maybe not! But at least it will be... better.

This version has a few silly editorial comments inserted in by the both of us. If you want the version without our silly comments, you can find it here.

"Arms are so difficult to draw"...

While the Duke and Duchess of York (the future King George V and Queen Mary) were away on a royal tour in 1901, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra commissioned an artist, Mrs. Gertrude Massey, to paint miniature portraits of their children, David, Bertie, Mary and Harry, as surprise gifts for them on their return. Mrs. Massey spent a lot of time with the children and got to know them well, and they became very fond of her.

In her memoir, Kings, Commoners and Me (1934), Massey described each of the children. She saw Prince Edward (David) as the "the most interesting" and Princess Mary as "the most mischievous".

As for little Bertie, she related a story of how one day he asked if he could draw her, "for a change", and she obliged him. As he drew, she observed "His face was so expressive, one could almost read his thoughts." His expression showed that he was pleased with his drawing, except for one thing.

"Would you mind if I don't give you any arms?'' he asked. "Arms are so difficult to draw."

Aw, Bertie!!! <3

I enjoy reading about these little moments throughout his life when Bertie's creative side would shyly show itself. I think he did have a creativity about him; he just didn't really get a lot of opportunity to explore it. Although he was never interested in fine arts and culture the way his younger brother the Duke of Kent was, I think he enjoyed designing and creating and was proud of these accomplishments in his humble way.

For instance, he loved landscape gardening, (once he wrote a letter in the "language of Rhododendrum"!). He did needlepoint, and created a set of 12 chair covers for Royal Lodge. He also designed the George Cross and George Medal himself. And of course there was his life long interest in photography and filming, which I can particularly relate to and understand. Even during his last Sandringham Christmas, King George designed trousers to be worn with the Order of the Garter robes instead of the traditional knee pants and Prince Philip photographed him wearing them. It has been repeated often that when he got interested in something, he was all in! That is the essence of a creative spirit, in my eyes.

What a sweet, sensitive soul.

i analyse characters to such an absurd extent that i come up with things that the writers/creators/cast probably never even considered.
