Charles Hawtrey - Rare Short Interview From The 1980s
From 1984, this was "Movie Memories" presented by the multi-talented actor/playwright/singer Roy Hudd,looking smart in a luminous light blue suit.. The series produced by Anglia, and as said by the Youtube user, this was an interview with a star who gradually went downhill on a private scale, with heavy drinking and died 4 years later in 1988.
Charles Hawtrey was great in the "Carry On" movies. He starred in 22 of the "Carry On" movies, and he was known for his skinny-as-a-rail appearance, and usually played wimp-ish characters. He had a campness too, but that was second fiddle to another comedy great Kenneth "ooooooh, yeeeeeess" Williams.
In this clip, the interview was cut short because of Hawtrey's drunken antics, we don't what, off-screen.
