Sir Cecil Beaton 's remarkable career as photographer, writer and designer began in the Jazz Age and closed in the Swinging 60's. Throughout his life he was revered as the epitome of the elegant Englishman - moving from one glamorous world to another. A close friend of the Sitwells, an intimate of Hollywood stars, a royal photographer - his camera and his diaries record an extraordinary progress through seven glittering decades. The first film biography since his death uses Beaton's writings and previously unseen home movies to narrate a complex life.
