The hunting down of the malaria parasite - the greatest mass murderer of all time - was the hard, relentless work of one dedicated man. This programme covers the years of that hunt, 1894 to 1898, when Surgeon Major Ronald Ross, of the Indian Medical Service, tracked the parasite down to its lair in the Anopheles mosquito.

A personal recollection presented by Maurice Chevalier.
A film directed by Andrew Marton with a specially composed musical score by Michel Legrand.

Maurice Chevalier remembers, with affection, the Paris of his youth - the old streets and markets of Menilmontant, unchanged since his childhood, the dancing in the streets, the wedding parties by the Seine - and leads us from these to the more familiar Parisian landmarks, commenting with pride on the beauty and character of the city which means so much to him.
