This is a brilliant scene when Maggie Smith plays a music hall star working on recruiting soldiers for the First World War. Her character is sensational and charming, but is also a woman with a job to do. Acting is duplicitous, but there is a triple layer from her in this scene, where she sneaks in a rather chilling here on business moment in the performance. Unforgettable.
