The Scoundrel and the Scullery Maid

Produced in 1919, The Scoundrel & The Scullery Maid represents the pinnacle of silent film-making and the features outstanding performances from a terrific ensemble cast. Laura Emmett (The Devil Wears Matalan) makes her stunning debut as Frogmella Porkington, the hapless young woman who falls into the clutches of Max Emmett’s (The Lion, the Witch and the Ear-lobe) dastardly Count Bob.  Fortunately help is at hand in the form of the bumbling Inspector Moustache, hilariously portrayed Giles Manning (Plop Fiction), and Ivy Manning’s (The Inedibles) enigmatic Constable Bristle.
