DVD Reviews of Noel Coward Trilogy: The Boy Actor, Captain Coward, Sail Away
DVD Review: Informative and entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this film for anyone who is looking to better understand the life and times of Noel Coward. I have enjoyed his lyrical talents on a superficial level, listening to Sail Away. I sought out this film for the sake of curiosity about the man behind the performance and I wasn't disappointed. It appears Noel Coward's approach to self-promotion and style would eventually influence actors and society personalities alike, to this day. I am amazed at his luck and his sense of irony. One thing that is missing from the film is a query of some of the people he would later satirize. I wanted to see more of that line of thought developed. Despite this, the film was deeply informative and highly entertaining.
Description of Noel Coward Trilogy: The Boy Actor, Captain Coward, Sail Away
These three programs trace Noël Coward's life, career and legacy. Part 1: The Boy Actor follows his meteoric rise to international fame at thirty: including how early influences as a young man shaped his works such as Private Lives and The Vortex. Part 2: Captain Coward focuses on his journeys to the Far East with Earl Amherst (which inspired famous songs such as Mad Dogs and Englishmen), as well as entertaining the troops during the war years and films In Which We Serve and Brief Encounter. Part 3: Sail Away follows Coward's cabaret triumphs in London and Las Vegas after the Second World War and his years as a tax exile in Switzerland and Jamaica, right up to his death. His long-term partner, the late Graham Payn shows us around Chalet Coward, and archive film reveals the glamorous poolside lifestyle he enjoyed, as well as his late successes: a cameo performance in The Kitchen, and the musical Sail Away as recalled by its star Elaine Stritch.Nominated for the:1999 Huw Wheldon Award for the Best Arts Programme or Series BAFTA Award
