TV review - "Elgar" (1962) ***

Docu drama which helped make Ken Russell's reputation. It didn't strike me as amazing but it was influential so that's unfair - I can imagine in 1962 it was very impressive. It's a combination of narration, pictures, music and documentary re-enactment. Elgar's best known hit was "Land of Hope and Glory. There's lots of his music here. Clearly a work of a man with much talent and skill but all along I admit I was going "I'm sure this was amazing.... in it's day".
