Made in the UK and released in 1936, the film also starred director Paul Czinner's wife Elizabeth Bergner, who played Rosalind with a thick German accent." , at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_You_Like_It CatRaptor 20:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC) CatRaptor {This my 1st time editing here, so please beforgiving of ant procedural errors made thru unfamiliarity with them.

Photograph

The picture of Bill Laurie from this article is from, predictably, Dad's Army. I understand that, but would Mr Laurie himself have been happy? No, he would not have been. Is any other picture available?Alanobrien (talk) 18:20, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
