From acclaimed actress to respected MP (Member of Parliament), she is known for her high intelligence and meticulous approach to her work. She was born to a working-class household in Birkenhead, where her father was a bricklayer. When she was very young, her father was recruited into the Navy, where he worked aboard a minesweeper.

Odd little tribute to composer Arnold Bax, with Ken Russell himself playing the composer. It's always great to see Glenda Jackson in anything at all (this is her last role before becoming an MP), and she has a couple of good moments as Bax's longtime muse, pianist Harriet Cohen. Future Mrs. Russell Hetty Baynes is the exotic fan dancer (introduced dancing to a jazzed-up Greensleeves--!) he takes to the seashore, culminating in the most "artistic" lap dance I've ever seen.
