Introduced by Melvyn Bragg
In this very personal film portrait, Dory Previn, singer/songwriter, talks to Harley Cokliss about her life, especially as it is reflected in her songs.
The film features 11 of her best songs including: 'Atlantis,' 'Esther's First Communion,' 'Mary C. Brown and the Hollywood Sign,' 'Did Jesus Have a Baby Sister?' - recorded at a concert she gave earlier this year at Chapman College in Orange, California.
2nd House had repeatedly invited Dory Previn to appear here but she never managed the trip. She hates travelling and refuses to fly. So we flew to Southern California.
