I honestly don't know who could have played these parts better. This film is a masterpiece of casting. Colman manages to make a character who would be despised by most everyone in real life warm and sympathetic. Even his most cutting put-downs are delivered affably and without malice. He wishes to educate, not destroy, and Colman plays it dead-on.
Dated and yet timeless. Fluff with depth. A delightful paradox, well worth the price I paid for the DVD.
P.S: I bought the DVD based on the strength of the Quotes section of this IMDb listing!
