i' d like to be notified of new arrivals in the following categories .
copyright (c) 1996 by the library, university of california, berkeley .
major gowen, played by ballard berkeley, in fawlty towers was a bumbling, quintessential stiff upper lipped english gentleman. and proud of it! well known for his distrust of foreigners in general, and germans in particular, he could always be found wandering about fawlty towers enquiring if the newspapers had arrived yet. the only thing more important to major gowen than the arrival of the newspapers to keep himself abreast of the cricket scores was the opening of the bar. this was an era with less liberal licensing hours than can be enjoyed in england today .
. however it is possible that brodzsky actually contributed very little. in a memoir in the william walton archive, roy douglas claimed ,
brodsky was a so - called composer: i had actually composed entire film scores for him, which went under his name
. in a letter to roy douglas dated 23 december 1943, william walton wrote ,
i' m delighted about your picture. i' ll have a good deal to tell you about brodsky when i see you. in my capacity as music adviser to two cities [ a film company ] it is going to be my duty to have to tick him off !
