Richard Attenborough and Jack Warner star in this late 1940s
British drama set in a reform school for boys. After being caught
and sent to a borstal for three years because of his involvement in
a robbery, teenager Jackie Knowles (Attenborough) makes friends
with fellow juvenile delinquents Alfie (Dirk Bogarde) and Bill
(Jimmy Hanley). Meanwhile, the reformatory govenor (Warner)
attempts to keep the boys under control.
Noel Coward is remembered as the most witty and elegant of
theatrical personalities. He left behind over fifty plays,
twenty-five films, hundreds of songs, and several books.
Fortunately, he also left behind these diaries chronicling the last
thirty years of his life, from 1941 to 1973. Moving through the
theatrical, social, political, and historical worlds on both sides
of the Atlantic, the impressive cast of characters includes
Laurence Olivier, Frank Sinatra, Lauren Bacall, John and Jackie
Kennedy, Harold Pinter, members of the Royal Family, and the
Beatles, among a host of others. "The Noel Coward Diaries" is a
social and theatrical chronicle as stylish and irresistible as the
man himself.
Other men made fabulous careers out of the opportunities Noel
Coward declined. But Coward's inner compass charted him on his own
course to greatness. And when he couldn't find the destination on
his maps, he invented Samolo, his own South Sea island complete
with its own indigenous rituals and customs. And of course, we
revisit Coward's worlds constantly in revivals of his classic
plays, Hay Fever, Private Lives, Tonight at 8:30, Design for Living
and Blithe Spirit. This is the definitive memoir of the private
Noel Coward by the only man with the compassionate insight and
first-hand experience to write it. Graham Payn, star of many of
Coward's shows, shared the Master's professional and private life
for thirty years. When Coward kept the rest of the world at bay,
Payn remained at his side as confidant and friend. No one else was
as privy to Coward's doubts and dreams.
