Elaine Stritch's one woman show filmed live at London's Old Vic theatre is a real tour de force. She deals with her often turbulent life and career with honesty and humour. There are wonderful anecdotes about fellow performers Gloria Swanson, Noel Coward, Judy Garland and Richard Burton and an near fling with Marlon Brando during her early years in New York. Much of her life has been marred by heavy drinking and she deals with this in a typically forthright and amusing manner, explaining how she conspired with a barman to send champagne to her theatre dressing room with the cork customized not to "pop", keeping a suspicious Producer who had banned alcohol backstage at bay. Ms Stritch talks ruefully about losing the part of Dorothy in "The Golden Girls" because she offended the writer with her colourful language and losing actor Ben Gazzara when she fell hopelessly in love with Rock Hudson. She speaks highly of Stephen Sondheim and Hal Prince who helped revive her career in the 1970s with the musical "Company" when she was becoming disillusioned with showbusiness. The story of her life is interspersed with great show tunes including "I'm Still Here, If Love Were All and The Party's Over. A wonderful piece of entertainment from a remarkable lady and entertainer.
