Mad About the Boy: The Noel Coward Story

The story of Noel Coward, the most prolific writer, director and entertainer of the 20th century, told in his own words.

Noel Coward grew up in poverty and left school when he was only nine years old. He was queer in a very straight world. And yet, by the age of 30, he was the highest-paid writer in the world and a star on the Broadway stage, writing, directing and acting in some of the finest plays and movies of all time. This is his inspirational story, told in his own words and music, and unique home movies.
