Former actress Adela Cork owns the Beverly Hills property known as the Carmen Flores place, after the famous and tempestuous Mexican actress who previously owned the house. Flores was killed in a plane crash the previous year. The will of Adela's late wealthy husband Alfred says Adela should support his impecunious brother Smedley, though she merely lets him live in her house. Smedley dislikes living with Adela, who makes him drink yoghurt instead of cocktails. Adela's sister Bill, a former scriptwriter, is ghostwriting Adela's memoirs. Adela's impeccable butler Phipps is nervous that Bill, who was part of the jury that sentenced him to prison for safecracking a few years ago, will tell Adela about his past which he has kept secret, but she promises not to tell. Smedley hopes to find the late Carmen Flores's diary. He believes she wrote about her affairs with men who would pay to have it suppressed. Bill thinks Smedley needs looking after and wants to marry him, but Smedley has doubts about marriage. Kay likes him but turns him down because she thinks he is not serious. They both separately go to California. Bill suggests to Joe that they buy her literary agent's business for twenty thousand dollars. Bill wants Joe to fund the purchase, since he won a radio jackpot, but he explains that he has nearly spent all his winnings. Joe later meets Smedley, who looks rich, and gives him a car ride hoping for money. Adela has invited Kay and the rich Lord Topham to her house, hoping they will marry. Adela gives Phipps notice for looking around in her bedroom against her orders. He tells Bill that he was looking for the valuable diary of the late Carmen Flores, and has not found it. Joe comes to the house, having been invited by Smedley while they were out drinking. Smedley was celebrating because he found the diary, which is written in Spanish, on top of Adela's wardrobe. He has been offered fifty thousand dollars for it. By pretending to help translate it, Adela tricks Smedley into giving her the diary. Bill reveals to Smedley, Kay, and Joe that Phipps is a safecracker, and suggests that he get the diary from Adela's safe. Phipps's cut will be five thousand dollars. He agrees. Late that night, they assemble to steal the diary. However, Phipps has been hired by movie mogul Jacob Glutz to play butler roles, and is unwilling to risk being caught burgling. Bill comes up with the idea to give Phipps strong drinks and taunt him into burgling the safe by suggesting he has lost his skill. Phipps becomes drunk and remarkably less formal, then goes to break open the safe after being taunted by Bill. Kay tells Bill that she loves Joe but thinks his proposals are too flippant, though Bill thinks he is just shy. Phipps fails to focus on his task and argues in a disjointed way with Smedley and Joe before falling asleep. Joe tells Bill he is too shy to propose to Kay seriously. Bill knocks Joe out with her only Mickey Finn drug, planning to make Kay sympathetic to him. Bill wakes up Phipps, who does not remember anything from when he was drunk. She claims Phipps knocked out Joe. Kay sees Joe unconscious and instantly goes to his side, as Bill planned. Joe recovers, and is happily surprised that Kay returns his feelings. Phipps apologizes and works on the safe. Smedley inadvertently makes noise and wakes up Adela. Adela investigates but is stopped by Bill, who stalls by talking to Lord Topham. Topham loves Gladys "Toots" Fauntleroy, but they had an argument about her new hat. He sent a cable to England apologizing and awaits her reply. Adhesive x3 Oil x4 Screw x2 Steel x5.

Without these pioneering Old Reliable photographs, homoeroticism in the art world couldn't have existed. Robert Mapplethorpe was a pussy. Hurles is the real thing. Sex-positive feminist Susie Bright has also declared herself a fan of Hurles. David is a true intellectual, a psychological hobbyist, and even more interesting as a person than he is as a photographer. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Despite the political and social upheavals that occurred during his life, much of which was spent in France and the United States, Wodehouse's main canvas remained that of prewar English upper-class society, reflecting his birth, education, and youthful writing career. Sean O'Casey famously called him "English literature's ", a description that Wodehouse used as the title of a collection of his letters to a friend, Bill Townend. Ballistic weapons. Energy weapons.

He is helped and hindered by a safe-blowing butler, a pompous movie mogul, a posse of unemployed scriptwriters, and the redoubtable Adela herself. Fortunately, Adela's sister, 'Bill' Shannon, not for nothing nicknamed 'the Old Reliable', is on hand to ensure a satisfactory outcome.

The Old Reliable - Wikipedia

Incidentally, I have never encountered a Wodehouse story with more references to contemporary celebrities. Given that many of the leading characters are or were involved in the movie industry, this makes a certain amount of sense. But it's almost as if the author made a conscious decision to pepper the text with the names of movie, TV, and literary notables. This in no way detracts from the story it may, in fact, ADD to the reader's enjoyment , but I did find it curious. Pretty sure this is my first Wodehouse without any of the series characters. Enjoyed it very much. This one stands out for being set in California instead of England, though an English butler features prominently and one of Wodehouse's typical goofy young English upper-class men also features, somewhat less prominently. Not sure if I'll do a proper review later, not a lot to say beyond it's Wodehouse and it's hilarious. Apr 02, Patressa Kearns rated it really liked it. I liked "The Old Reliable" a lot. What's not to like about any P. Wodehouse story? I did find it to be very similar to Wodehouse's "Spring Fever," which I read recently -- many of the same plot elements. But that's OK, because, really, do we read Wodehouse for Wodehouse's great character development anyway? No, we do not. We read Wodehouse for fun and to for the tight, fun plot lines and uber-snappy dialogue! I especially loved the "Bill" character. An apt description of the author himself.

Topham loves Gladys "Toots" Fauntleroy, but they had an argument about her new hat. He sent a cable to England apologizing and awaits her reply. A sergeant and patrolman arrive, having been telephoned by Adela. Bill again stalls by talking to the policeman about their ambition to become actors. Bill keeps them occupied long enough for Phipps to finish his task and dismiss the policemen. However, Phipps refuses to give Smedley the diary and keeps it. Topham learns that Toots loves him still, making him very amenable, but he cannot lend Bill the money she needs for the literary agency because he can't spend his money out of England. Adela thinks Bill took the diary and telephones the police again. Bill convinces Phipps to give the diary to Smedley by pointing out that Phipps will be in trouble if the police find it. She also convinces Adela that Smedley could sue her for losing a diary he had an offer for, which would bring her bad publicity. She persuades Adela to pay him off with thirty thousand dollars, with a check made out to Bill. The two policemen return and are cheerful, having been hired as background actors. Later, Phipps says that the book he gave to Smedley was not actually the diary, and is not even in Spanish. Smedley protests that it is in Spanish and gives it to Phipps to show him, but Phipps takes it and drives off. Bill is amazed that Smedley has again been tricked out of the diary, and wants to look after him. She asks him to marry her and he agrees. According to 's book Wodehouse at Work to the End , Wodehouse adapted his novel Spring Fever into a play with an American setting and characters for actor Edward Everett Horton , but Horton was unable to use the play due to other commitments, so Wodehouse turned the play into the novel The Old Reliable. The story was serialized in Collier's under the title Phipps to the Rescue with illustrations by Harry Beckhoff. The first UK edition dust jacket cover was illustrated by Frank Ford. The book was adapted as a radio drama by Felix Felton. The producer was John Gibson. The Old Reliable was dramatised for television by Robert Mundy. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
