Edward the Conqueror
30 April 2020
The stars are out for this one. Joseph Cotten and Wendy Hiller play elderly couple Edward and Louisa.

When a stray cat walks up to their garden. Louisa brings it inside and when she plays the piano she becomes convinced that the cat is the reincarnation of Liszt.

Edward is in disbelieve and thinks she is Brahms and Liszt. He tries to humour her but soon becomes exasperated.

There is a hint of darkness with the ending as Louisa becomes enraged.

This is a story that still looks good, it does not seem that aged. The quality of the actors make so much more out of this slight and absurd story.

In his introduction, Roald Dahl tells how he used to listen to a piece of classical music before he started to write.
