Mad About the Boy: The Noel Coward Story
Remember weeping at Brief Encounter? This was Noel Coward at his finest, larger than life, celebrated English playwright, actor, singer, director, composer who was fiercely ambitious, flamboyant and assured of his own talent and wit. Luxuriating in scandal and good living, he is captured brilliantly, cigarette in hand, musing at his success – there it was “.. my name in electric lights outside the theater… in flaming pink bulbs and it never failed to please me….” Narrated by Alan Cummings with clips from some of Coward’s wonderful movies and plays, we also learn he was a spy in the Second World War!
Nominated for Best Documentary BAFTA
