BLESS THE BRIDE - Nov 1962
In the Victorian year of 1870, on the eve of the Franco-Prussian War, three generations of Willows occupy the "Grange" at Mayfield-the grandparents, father and mother and their seven charming daughters. Lucy Veracity Willow is about to be married by parental arrangement to Thomas Trout, an unromantic man who, nevertheless, dreams of one day becoming a hero. Thomas has befriended a French actor and actress, Pierre Fontaine and Suzanne Valdis. The introduction of Pierre to Lucy is most unfortunate for Thomas, as they fall in love at first sight......
By A.P. Herbert. Music by Vivian Ellis
