Law And The Lady, The (1951) -- (Movie Clip) Stop Being Witty Domestic "girl" Jane (Greer Garson) is just being accused of stealing by Lord and Lady Minden (Michael Wilding, Phyllis Stanley), when his twin Nigel (also Wilding) appears, the police inspector (Rhys Williams) baffled, early in The Law And The Lady, 1951.
