Having lived in Los Angeles, plugged into the central nervous system of the Hollywood film industry in my capacity as the assistant to Kathryn Bigelow, I can state with absolute certainty that Paul Feig should not exist.

However, a quick check with the tailors at Anderson & Sheppard — where Paul is not just one of their most important clients but, to my mind, the most assured modern master of the British drape since Fred Astaire — confirms his actual existence. And we are all of us the better for it. Those of us who have been edified by Feig’s canon — which includes the uproarious , the hilarious and , the stylish and genre-bending , and the old-school shot from the heart that is — owe him hours of that unfailingly soothing medicine called laughter.
