April 16 movie: Beau Brummel. From the info screen I was expecting this to be about a 19th century fashion designer who was friends with the future Edward VII, which is why I DVRed it. But actually it was about an annoying dandy (Stewart Granger) and social climber who falls in love with Elizabeth Taylor, who sensibly marries someone else, and befriends the Prince of Wales (the future George IV, not the future Edward VII, played by Peter Ustinov) to advance his social position. He fails to convince the Prince to give him an earldom, then has a big fight with him because he's an idiot. Then he has to flee his debts in Britain, and dies a pauper in France. What a waste of two hours!
