The
full courageous story of one woman's love for two of our
greatest comic geniuses.
A few
short months after her marriage to Dad's Army star
John, Joan Le Mesurier fell in love with his best friend,
Tony Hancock, the legendary British comedian.
It was to be a romance like no other: a love affair touched
by hilarity...and by tragedy. In Lady Don't Fall Backwards
Joan reveals the passionate nature of her relationship with
Hancock, confesses the despair they fought to save him from
alcoholism; and tells of her lifetimes love for the man
who took her back after Hancock's death: much loved actor,
John Le Mesurier.
Above
all it is the story of Joan herself. she emerges as a courageous
and passionate woman, who has been able to confront her
personal dramas with extraordinary insight and humour.
