The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMolesley has a screenplay deal at last, and that is the courage he needed. He tells Baxter he felt ashamed before: the best he could offer was a poor life on a schoolmaster's salary. Now he will write talking films and, for the first time, offer a decent, prosperous life for them both. She teases him to kneel. He still says Miss Baxter, then corrects himself: Phyllis. She grins and answers: I jolly well will.
