...frequent client at all of greater London's bars, bawdy houses, and brothels, the unscrupulous Guilford would seem the least likely martimonial candidate for the solemn and studious Jane. Thanks to the wry wit of screenwriter Edgar, Guilford is never at a loss for words. Countering his nervous bride-to-be's request that they live "as cousins," Guilford tells her that when he was informed of the marriage he was "sampling the pleasures of a certain lady of the evening...
...world obsessed with money, manners, fashion and family tree, severe in its standards of social acceptability and brutal in its treatment of those deemed unfit. Bond's adaptation of the genre retains its rounded invective and withering humor. The wicked lord, pondering the corpse of his rich, social-climbing bride, decides to prop her up at the table: "Stretched out on the floor could only encourage the lowest of surmises." His equally malicious mother, listening to the plea on bended knee of the duped servant's wife, says imperiously, "Get up, child. A thing is not made more impressive...

With her Bride of Frankenstein fright wig and a gutter-mouthed talent for the unprintable expletive, she makes a speech unparalleled in pure offensiveness. The audience is cued to laugh uproariously. But profanity-as-a-punchline went out with The Bad News Bears, and the audience remains untickled and stone-faced, blushing uncomfortably...
...Princess Margaret; prickly Princess Anne had turned goody-goody; crusty Philip made nary a gaffe; and the Queen, as ever, was placid perfection. For Charles, the role of bachelor Prince was becoming old hat; the public grew tired of a succession of Charlie's Angels but never a bride. Then, like an inspired casting director, Charles picked an unlikely ingenue for the role of Princess: the girl next door. Voila! She became the biggest star of all and made "The Windsors" the most watched show of all time...
