Retro Spiv


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the British Film Institute archives, we are transported back to 1952, where we witness the delightful chemistry between Leslie Dwyer and Olive Sloane in Maurice Elvey's "My Wife's Lodger". Dressed in retro attire that perfectly captures the essence of the era, Leslie Dwyer exudes a charming spiv-like persona. With his slicked-back hair, sharp suit, and mischievous smile, he embodies the quintessential character of a smooth-talking opportunist. Meanwhile, Olive Sloane stands beside him with an air of elegance and sophistication. Her classic beauty shines through as she gazes at Dwyer with a mix of curiosity and amusement. The film itself tells a tale filled with humor and intrigue as it explores themes of love triangles and mistaken identities. The on-screen chemistry between Dwyer and Sloane is palpable even in this still image; their expressions hint at the playful banter that surely unfolds throughout the movie. This print serves not only as a nostalgic reminder of British cinema during its golden age but also as a testament to the talent and charisma of these two remarkable actors. It encapsulates an era when films were made to entertain audiences while offering them an escape from reality. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our imagination takes flight into a world where laughter reigns supreme – thanks to Leslie Dwyer's wit and Olive Sloane's grace – leaving us yearning for more
