00:00That first evening in New York, I sauntered down Broadway alone

00:04as I dreamt of seeing flashing in lights my name, Noel Coward.

00:09As an actor, playwright, songwriter, singer, and director,

00:13Noel Coward will become the most talented entertainer of all time.

00:17He was a sensation.

00:22I went on the stage when I was 10, so I didn't have any formal education,

00:26which of course left me free to educate myself.

00:30By the age of 30, he was the highest-paid writer in the world.

00:42Frank Sinatra said,

00:43if you want to hear how songs should be sung, go see Noel Coward.

00:48I was trained when I was very young as a show-off,

00:51and I've continued triumphantly until this moment.

00:55He was a rebel and a patriot who dared to be queer in a very straight world.

00:59The criminal law in this matter is to preserve public order and decency.

01:04When neither of us free to love each other, there's too much in the way.

01:10The long cigarette head and the red silk dressing gown.

01:13Noel's carpet slippers and baked beans.

01:16To see Noel Coward come on board, it went nuts.

01:21Noel Coward molded the spirit of a nation.

01:24So why did this astonishing man end his life,

01:27exiled from the country he came to define?

01:29Music said this was strong-moving and an experience in the theatre.

01:33I'd rather it was a good play.

01:35This is his remarkable story.

01:39What is the word for when one has terrific, prolific qualities?

01:43Talent.
