charlotte mitchell is one roof-raisingly funny woman! her fifi in tales of montmartre is even more hilarious than her maid marion when she did ye bandit of sherwood forest:

"sheriff of nottingham get your hands off me! if they're not off in the next three hours, i'll write to the police!"

"you see, my fiance, mr r. hood, will come and fisticuff you! ...thud biff splat zowee!... he learnt all his boxing from comic strips."

"oh woe, lost in this dark dungeon, with nothing but am old straw television set. this is a chamber of torture! oh woe, oh misery, oh fie! whatever shall i do!"

in montmartre her outrageous mock french accent rivals peter sellers doing clouseau.
