BRILLIANT

Les Mis lyricist Herbie Kretzmer, who died last week aged 95, was a great pal of my father. He wrote Aznavour’s She and the Peter Sellers/Sophia Loren duet Goodness Gracious Me, but much less known is the film he and Dad wrote, Every Home Should Have One, based on a Swedish au pair. Unimaginably non-PC now, but great fun at the time.
