I watched this a month or two ago. When the villain joins a conversation they mention he went to a finishing school. Some one replies with the name of the school and remarks, “_The_ finishing school”. It might have been Cambridge.

So, first of all i am pretty sure it was a man, not a woman. So does finishing school even apply? Maybe it was a similar term for men.

Second, the guy certainly did not look the part - rough looking black guy. But when he spoke he was indeed cultured.

Does this ring a bell?

First thought was Austin Powers (I didn’t say it was a good guess)

Yeah, I’m way off.
