Madeleine Carroll and Clive Brook in The Dictator (1935)

British postcard by Real Photograph, London in the Film Partners series, no. P 166. Photo: Toeplitz. Madeleine Carroll and Clive Brook in The Dictator (Victor Saville, 1935).

 

British actress Madeleine Carroll (1906–1987) was a blonde beauty of a ladylike demeanour. The first of Alfred Hitchcock's ‘ice-cool blondes’ was immensely popular in the 1930s and 1940s, and was nicknamed 'The Queen of British Cinema'.

 

English film and stage actor Clive Brook (1887-1974) worked first in British films and then in Hollywood. The suave, handsome, distinguished leading man is best remembered as Marlene Dietrich’s love interest in Shanghai Express (1932).
