Raffles Kay Francis as Gwen David Torrence as Inspector McKenzie Frederick Kerr as Lord Harry Melrose Bramwell Fletcher as Bunny John Rogers as Crawshaw Wilson Benge as Barraclough Alison Skipworth as Lady Kitty Melrose I colorized this using AI software that doesn't always get the colors right, but I think it looks fairly natural. Hopefully a more professional job will be done someday.
