Where the heck does this quote come from ?

Okay hive mind, show me what you can do!
I think the quote is from an old British movie -

"Everyone's been terribly, terribly kind..."

Possibly a classic male British actor? Anyone got any suggestions? It's driving me MAD! 😬

Not certain, but I'm hearing it in Paddington's voice. Would that make sense?

For some reason I read it to myself in a sort of Received Pronunciation - the Queen type accent but I don’t know why or if it’s ringing a bell for me! Do you know how it’s said, or who says it - make/female?

Haha - cross post with Paddington!

Similar on RP - I was thinking Brief Encounter.

A Private Function? I’m hearing it in Maggie Smith’s character’s voice though. #planningatrifle

Yes to Paddington!

God, and missed that you said male already - sorry 🙄

It's a wonderful life ??

I think it's a male voice. Paddington is a good shout - but thought it was older than that.

Doing this research for my chum - will see what he thinks!

Yes, @Everylittlethingsgonnabealright RP type voice was in his head. He wants to find the quote to use in a music project.

This sounds familiar tbh

Railway children?

I don't want to say who he thought it was as might skew people John LeMeasurer or someone like that

Until you said male I thought Helena Bonham-Carter in A Room With A View

Ah, @ballstomonty such a great film! But don't think that's one of her lines.

When you said that I thought Bobby’s birthday scene where she thanks everyone? But just watched that scene on YouTube and it’s not that bit

I'm reading it in Hugh Grant's voice

I think it's Brief Encounter too. One of the totes emosh scenes where she says goodbye to him forever or similar.

John Hurt - "Everyone has been so terribly kind"??

Hilary and Jackie?

Sounds like a Celia Imrie quote. Defo an English accent…

Didn’t Paddington say it in one of his letters to Aunt Lucy?

Alec guiness? In one of his posh british films, not star wars 😆

I think it might be Ralph Fiennes in The Grand Budapest Hotel, when he goes to prison?

@JennyForeigner and @Violettaa Just looked at a load of Brief Encounter quotes. It's the right kind of 'style' of speech, but they don't seem to use those words. Darn it....

Gussie Finknottle says it in Bertie Wooster…The series with Hugh Laurie.
Probably a fairly common phrase though ?
