Greenwich Entertainment Buys ‘Mad About the Boy – The Noel Coward Story’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Greenwich Entertainment has bought U.S. rights to 'Mad About the Boy - The Noel Coward Story,' a documentary about the playwright and legendary wit
Greenwich Entertainment has acquired U.S. and Canadian distribution rights to “Mad About the Boy – The Noel Coward Story,” an intimate portrait of one of the 20th century’s greatest writers and wits. He wrote, directed and acted in plays and movies such as “Private Lives,” “Blithe Spirit,” “Brief Encounter” and “In Which We Serve.” And, though he lacked formal musical training, he became a world renowned songwriter and performer — Frank Sinatra once said, “If you want to hear how a song should be sung, go see Mr. Noël Coward.” He also discovered John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier and David Lean, and was a spy in the Second World War — don’t worry, it was for the Allies. It’s Barnaby’s account of his personal story and the hints of pathos that Coward was at pains to keep well hidden, that makes the telling so poignant and relevant,” says Greenwich’s co-president Edward Arentz.
