Context

Theatre producer Michael 'Chalky' White is celebrated in a new film, The Last Impresario. His more famous London stage offerings include The Rocky Horror Show, Oh ! Calcutta, Cambridge Circus (with Bill Oddie and John Cleese), A Chorus Line, and West End shows with Dame Edna Everage.

Michael Coveney, critic for WhatsOnStage, notes that the film contains "a lot of boring wittering on from the deathly Alan Yentob - why? - about something or other".  Tatler's Bystander offers a shot of Big Al at the first night party for the film with his arm round Australian director, actress, and model, Gracie Otto.

And here's Al just before filming his contribution. He can't seem to keep his feet off other people's furniture or dashboards, I'm told.
