This DVD is a behind-the-scenes intimate portrait of one of the funniest and most versatile actors, Michael Crawford, whose popularity outshines any other British entertainer in the last 30 years.

Michael has starred in some of the biggest box-office hits of all-time: from Frank Spencer in 'Some Mothers do 'Ave 'Em', to the original Phantom in 'Phantom of the Opera', both in London's West End and on Broadway; from circus showman in 'Barnum' to 'EFX', the multi-million extravaganza at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the biggest hotel in the world, which he dominated for over two years, playing Merlin, Houdini and H.G. Wells, and which broke all existing box office records.

He is the only actor to have won an Olivier Award as Best Actor at the same time as Best Actor in a Musical. Then there was 'Hello Dolly' with Barbara Streisand, 'The Knack', and 'How I Won The War' with John Lennon. So join us as Filmmaker Tony Palmer takes on Michael Crawford in this whimsical, intimate documentary, chronicling the performer's eclectic musical theater career and massive popularity on both sides of the Atlantic.
