I've never come like that to a gentleman before

Another "fabulous at 50" birthday today - the utterly gorgeous Rupert Graves.

As "Freddy Honeychurch" in A Room With A View, or, more notably as "Alec Scudder" in Maurice, Mr Graves was the subject of many a - ahem! - fantasy of mine in the 1980s. He was (and still is) a beautiful man.

This scene remains a perpetual favourite...

Maurice first love scene

Many happy returns!
