Max Liebman directs this adaptation of the 1941 musical which was
broadcast live on TV. The story follows Liza Elliott (Ann Sothern),
an unhappy female editor of Allure magazine who is undergoing a
series of psychoanalysis sessions. The cast also includes James
Daly, Luella Gear and Carleton Carpenter.
Based on research into 2,549 servicemen and women from Portsmouth
who were killed during World War 2, this book uncovers stories that
have never been told before: a naval bomb disposal Petty Officer
awarded the George Cross; a 16-year-old Para; a Battle of Britain
hero; men killed in battleships, submarines, bombers and tanks
throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. By using
database software, the author has been able to analyse all 2,549
casualties and look at statistics such as their age and where in
Portsmouth they came from. As well as telling the stories of
individuals and units, it has been possible to build a picture of
the effect that World War 2 had on Portsmouth's communities.
