Thanks Primus for this tribute to a classic. A mostly smooth solve for me, though I didn’t get the English rebel in 20a. My top picks were 11a, 18a, 23a, 26a, 27a (my device of the month!), 2d, 6d and 25d, which was very neat. I felt there was a part of speech mismatch in the definition of 21d, and maybe a touch of same-sideyness in 16d. All in all a great puzzle!

Thanks Primus. I found the puzzle pretty straightforward with lots to like and though in 20a the rebel was unknown, it was gettable. My favourites were 1a, 10a, 23a, 27a, 29a, 6d and 20d. In my ignorance, the instances of themers passed me by. I don't get the significance of the SI and having revealed the theme, I obviously lack a heap of knowledge there too. Thanks again.
