The Entertainers

BBC Radio 4

Maurice Chevalier
In a recording made during his last visit to Britain the great French entertainer, who was born in poverty in 1888, recalls some of the happiest moments of a love affair with the public that lasted nearly 75 years.
Some of the people who worked with him add their own recollections to this story of the ' Man in the Straw Hat ,' which is narrated by an old friend and admirer Billy Milton.
