The British Greats: 4: Leslie Howard

BBC One
on BBC One London

Barry Norman presents profiles of five great British stars.

A versatile romantic actor who represented the archetypal English gentleman - slightly vague, rather intellectual, decidedly glamorous. With personal comments from Ronald Howard, son; Irene Howard, sister; Dame Wendy Hiller, co-star in Pygmalion; Douglas Fairbanks Jr, fellow actor and friend; Michael Powell, producer of 49th Parallel; Mary Morris, co-star in Pimpernel Smith; George Cukor, stage and film director; John Houseman, producer.
