Mad About the Boy – The Noël Coward Story (12A)

Narrated by Alan Cumming and with Noël Coward voiced by Rupert Everett, Barnaby Thompson’s film takes us on a whirlwind tour of the world-renowned songwriter and performer who penned Brief Encounter, Blithe Spirit and Private Lives.

Coward grew up in poverty and left school when he was only nine years old. He was queer in a very straight world.

Yet, against all odds, Coward became the most successful multi-talented artist of the 20th Century. He defined an era and led an extraordinary life. This is his inspirational story told in his own words and music, and unique home movies.
