Will Hay
Every British comic actor that followed Will Hay owes Hay a debt of gratitude -- for it was Hay who defined the modern essence of British comedy. Working closely with Hays family Graham Rinaldis definitive tribute to the respected comic actor takes a close look into Hays on-screen and off-screen personae. Drawing upon Hays own writings -- newspaper articles notes from his astronomy observations and pilots logbooks and extracts from his unfinished and previously unpublished autobiography I Enjoyed Every Minute" -- the book gives a unique insight into Hays childhood his continuous thirst for knowledge and his passion for aviation astronomy and comedy. The book is illustrated throughout with previously unpublished photographs from Hays family albums including a rare photograph of Hay
with Amy Johnson plus memorabilia from his performing career. Extensive research into Hays stage work includes extracts from his original Fourth Form at St Michaels sketches The Will Hay Radio Programme and for the first time from all of his revue and variety shows including Nosey Knows and Moonstruck for Fred Karno. Each of Hays 18 films is examined with insightful information regarding their production written extracts from deleted scenes (including for the first time in their entirety the missing sequences from Ask a Policeman ) previously unpublished stills and interviews with those who worked with him from Val Guest Leslie Gilliat and Roy Ward Baker to Dame Thora Hird Barry Morse and Googie Withers. Did you know that in addition to creating the mould for British comedy that Hay was an
accomplished astronomer linguist and pilot? No? Then you must read this book about one of British films most fascinating characters!"
