The Last of Mrs. Cheney	comment	The Last of Mrs. Cheyney is a 1937 romantic comedy film directed by Richard Boleslawski, starring Joan Crawford, Robert Montgomery, and William Powell. It was adapted from the play of the same name by Frederick Lonsdale, which had previously been filmed in 1929 with Norma Shearer and Basil Rathbone as the leads.Fay Cheyney (Crawford) is a rich widow. On a boat headed to England, she mistakenly enters the suite of Lord Kelton (Frank "Wizard of Oz" Morgan), an older English noble, who takes an immediate liking to the attractive young woman. Also aboard the boat is one Lord Arthur Dilling (Montgomery), a young Casanova who starts aggressively pursuing lovely Fay.What neither of her would-be suitors knows is that Fay is really a con artist and thief. It turns out that she and her "servants" are actually all members of a gang led by her "butler" Charles (Powell), whose whole objective is for Fay to worm her way into this particular set of rich folks so they can steal a priceless pearl necklace from the home of Arthur's aunt, the Duchess of Ebley. This is complicated, however, when Fay starts to fall in love with Arthur.The story would be filmed yet again in 1951, as The Law and the Lady starring Greer Garson.

The Last of Mrs. Cheney / int_680f950	type	Gilligan Cut
The Last of Mrs. Cheney / int_680f950	comment	Gilligan Cut: The other guests are speculating how Lord Kelton's meeting with Fay is going. One lady thinks that Kelton is asking Fay to marry him, and she imagines an elaborate proposal: "My dear Mrs. Cheney, I am the victim of the emotion of love. I offer you my undying affection, and my heart, and my hand." The film then cuts to Kelton telling Fay, "You must understand, we couldn't possibly have a low tariff and compete with invokedcoolie labor." He is at least self-aware enough to follow this up by asking, "Do you find me dull?"
