The Ivor Novello Story

Work:: The Ivor Novello Story (S1002508017)

Ivor Novello was a man of the theatre above all else, and a musician of real worth, brilliantly capturing the ease and diffident charm of the world between the wars. The songs he wrote are certainly not forgotten.... Waltz of My Heart, Some Day My Heart Will Awake, Keep The Home Fires Burning, We'll Gather Lilacs....... Not only was he a composer of lavish musical plays, he was a film star appearing in two Hitchcock films, and a Hollywood screenwriter, recognised as coming up with the immortal phrase, "Me Tarzan, you Jane." In this wonderful script by John Cairney, Scottish writer, actor, painter and raconteur, Ivor Novello's story and songs are brought to life by an actor, two singers and a pianist. Prepare yourself for nostalgia, romance and showbiz glamour, and a homeward journey humming tunes you thought you'd forgotten!
