    They were never officially together in their movies. It was more of a partnership than a relationship. But the love was always there. Judy was the girl next door who was also your best friend. You can talk to her about anything.

    Noel Coward was a playwright, a poet, an actor on stage and screen, an entertainer, a novelist, a diarist, a painter and a wit. But his most original and longest lasting invention was himself. There was no one like him. There never will be. The Master!

    I must learn something about Garland. A co-star here, I think. And was that Coward's breathing, so palpitatingly, by the doorway, at the beginning ? I didn't know that ' Hamlet ' could be pronounced '' Hamleeet '', at 4'46''. *: Garland died in 2010, and was married to Alexandra Bastedo !!.

    • @crzxr
      @crzxr 9 місяців тому

      @@MrAJR76 It's a fair question, and thank you for asking. Of course, it's necessarily subjective - but I don't think Coward is given full credit for his music and lyrics - respected as they are by many. Few people would consider him as a lyricist in the same bracket as Lorenz Hart or Stephen Sondheim, for instance. And his melodies are often much more interesting and accomplished than those of Richard Rodgers, but many would think that statement preposterous.

    • @afritimm
      @afritimm 11 місяців тому

      I said the exact opposite above before seeing your comment. I find his smoking "style" fussy and self-conscious. An unaffected smoker would not always need to brandish the cigarette in front of his face 100% of the time. The hand would be lowered to the arm of the chair at least 50% of the time.

    In the early 1980s I bought my aunt for her birthday one of the very 1st AT&T Slimline telephones. To replace the old black model from the 1940s she still had. I had AT&T install it while she was at work. They put an extra long line on it so it could be carried to several rooms. I hid the phone in the sofa cushions and called her when she got home from work. After minutes of searching she found the phone. She was thrilled. She loved it and would set it on the side table next to her easy chair just hoping it would ring so she could tell the caller that she was talking on a SLIMLINE phone. And she told every caller. I can't hear Hyacinth say Slimline telephone without thinking of my late dear aunt. That Slimline I gave her was the phone she had until she passed away in 2008.

    This is a fascinating interview with Noël Coward, revealing much about his upbringing and career as an actor and playwright. It also shows the art of interviewing, by Patrick Garland, himself an actor and theatre director, amusing himself (and us) with Coward’s answers. Long live Theatre ✨✨✨
