EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the comedic duo Sydney Fairbrother and George Robey, fondly known as Mrs. and Mr. Bindle, in character for their film adaptation in 1931. The Bindles were originally brought to life through the humorous novels of Herbert Jenkins and quickly became beloved characters in British popular culture. Sydney Fairbrother, born in 1873, masterfully portrays the feisty and domineering Mrs. Bindle. Her expressive face and commanding presence bring to life the quintessential Cockney wife, known for her hen-pecked husband and endless sass. George Robey, born George Wade in 1869, plays the hapless and long-suffering Mr. Bindle. With his round face, bushy mustache, and comically exaggerated expressions, Robey perfectly embodies the broad and humorous type of the hen-pecked husband. The couple's costumes, complete with traditional Cockney attire, add to the authenticity of their performances and transport us back to the 1930s. This photograph is a testament to their exceptional comedic talents and the enduring appeal of their characters. The Bindles' film adaptation marked a significant moment in the history of British cinema, showcasing the comedic potential of character actors and the power of humour to bring joy and laughter to audiences. This image is a cherished reminder of the golden age of film and the unforgettable performances of Sydney Fairbrother and George Robey as Mrs. and Mr. Bindle.
