Prime Characters: Bertie Wooster, Jeeves, Fink Nottle, Madeline Bassett, Agatha, the Winkworths et al.

Prime Characters: Bertie Wooster, Jeeves, Fink Nottle, Madeline Bassett, Agatha, the Winkworths et al.
Highlights:
- The setup is sort of a cob-web and the situations where their swaps make them get into trouble presents excellent scope for comedy, which PGW pounces on and delivers!
- The characters of the pestering aunts and how they are being countered makes for interesting read.
- One cannot just ignore Jeeves smart ideas. His serious suggestions in moments of senseless planning all around makes him the admirable assistant.
A Pleasant read, the comic-tempo builds and bursts towards the end!
Tricked by the title, i ended up searching for the movie. :(
