Ralph Lynn's physical comedy is borderline elastic.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the 'Aldwych farce' cycle—1930s Britain's answer to screwball, but with more property damage and repressed emotions.
Tom Walls and Ralph Lynn were a legendary stage duo; their timing was honed over hundreds of live performances, which explains the almost telepathic rhythm of their screen fights.
