Twiggy, Christopher Gable
In this homage to the Hollywood musical, director Ken Russell has transformed Sandy Wilson 's hit stage musical into a delightful tongue-in-cheek spectacular. Twiggy. in her first screen role, stars as young Polly Browne , the nervous assistant stage manager and dogs-body of a tattered provincial company in the 20s. When the leading lady fails to turn up, Polly suddenly becomes the star of the show!
Based on the musical play by SANDY WILSON Written, produced and directed by KEN RUSSELL. Films: page 12
