Edward G. followed up his success as Little Caesar with this film about the rise and fall of a fast-talking small town gambler. Nick the Barber heads for the city to make a killing in the big game but a penchant for blondes proves to be his undoing. James Cagney , making his only screen appearance with Edward G. , plays his assistant.

ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS of the Metropolitan Opera House conducted by James Levine

Based on Dumas' The Lady of the Camellias, La traviata is the poignant story of a courtesan, Violetta. who falls in love during her final illness.

Act 2
Scene 1 Country House near Paris Scene 2 Flora's Salon in Paris

"I don't go out much these days, and when I do I find life infinitely dreary compared to my books..." William Gerhardie, who died at the age of 82 in 1977, was a legend in the world of letters. Born of English parents in Imperial Russia, he was reluctantly 'discovered' with his hugely acclaimed first novel "Futility", written at the age of 26. He was destined, however, to remain a prodigy. Despite the great success of his next novel, "The Polyglots", he lived out the rest of his life in a small London flat and busy obscurity. The remarkable book he was working on much of this time - "God's Fifth Column" was published this month. To mark the event, Michael Holroyd discusses Gerhardie's life and work and introduces a fascinating film portrait made by the BBC ten years ago.
