King's Rhapsody

About This Movie

King's Rhapsody is a 1957 music TV movie produced by the BBC. This production features the musical work of Ivor Novello and includes performances by Vanessa Lee, who reprises her role from the original stage premiere.

This film is quite rare in the collector’s market, primarily due to its limited broadcast history as a television special. The scarcity of physical copies makes it a coveted piece for those into early television musicals. Its connection to Ivor Novello adds a layer of depth, as his works are often sought after by collectors who appreciate British musical theatre. The performances, particularly by Vanessa Lee, give it a distinctive character that often eludes modern productions.
