oh my heart! john le mesurier performing a nightingale sang in berkeley square is sensational. he was no singer, and you can hear the places where his voice comes across weak, but they arranged the song in a key that was the same as his speaking voice, and he performed it - half spoke most of his lines - in something close to his own speech patterns - casual, gentle, wistful, romantic, laughing. what a voice - the deep, prime tones of a mature man. you can hear this about 30mins into the ed doolan interview with david croft. harriet said that the kind of father peter made would be casual, apologetic, reluctant and adorable. that i think is le mesurier's screen (and by all accounts, real-life) personality. and this is one performance in which it all comes across.
