Idle On Parade, Small World of Sammy Lee,and Jazzboat. The last time I remember the lattermentioned film being on tv was on a monday afternoon slot in the seventies.

I have only seen clips of his perfomance in Oliver Twist, but I am sure its one of his greatest celuloid moment. Shame his film career wasnt as distinguised as his recording and stage musical work.

Glad to see that his work is being recognised since his death.

Michael Ball payed a fine tribute to him by peforming a special show at Hackney Empirefor .Radio two in 2006.

although very talented , the man got me feeling edgy especially when he sang.

An early influence of David Bowie too. A very underrated artist.

Donna, "Strawberry Fayre (Fair ?)" and "Pop Goes The Weasel" are absolute classics.

I don't remember any of those films being shown for some time, but Cockleshell Heroes and Battle of the River Plate have. Sammy Lee was on at the NFT a few weeks ago.

He was an underrated actor and a very talented individual. The last time I saw him live was at the Green Room in London's Regent St a few years before he died. He still had the ability to captivate an audience. Sadly missed.

A very talented individual and IMHO sadly under rated, saw him in Scrooge at the Dominion Theatre and he was wonderful. Likewise his performance in "Sammy Lee " is excellent.

If my memory serves me right The Small World of Sammy Lee was last shown on the Sky Channel Bravo, about 12 years ago, back in the good old days when they showed lots of rarely seen british films from the 40's, 50's and 60's, as well as all the old TV shows from that era too.

He was in the Film 'Those People Next Door' which was run yesterday (13/5/08) on Movies4Men 2. He played the part of Jack Warner's son , i think it was made in 1952.

Thanks for the info, very interested to hear that you saw him at the Green room, I remember seeing a review in "The Stage."

Another wonderful little film of Newley's was called Let's Get Married with Anne Aubrey. I have never seen it on TV at all. In fact the only time I have seen it was when it was on the cinema in the very early 60s.

I saw an Anthony Newley tribute show in Edinburgh last year. There was free candy - it was excellent.
