Items related to Bounder! : The Biography of Terry-Thomas
Synopsis
With his sly moustache, broad gap-toothed grin, garish waistcoat, and ostentatious cigarette holder, Terry-Thomas was known as an absolute bounder both onscreen and off. Born in 1911 into an ordinary suburban family, Thomas Terry Hoar-Stevens set about transforming himself at a very early age into a dandy and gadabout. He put the finishing touches to his persona with the groundbreaking TV comedy series of the mid-1950s How Do You View?, a forerunner of The Goon Show and Monty Python. Terry-Thomas went on to carve out a long and lucrative career in America, appearing on TV alongside Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, and Lucille Ball, and in Hollywood movies with Jack Lemmon, Rock Hudson, and Doris Day, always playing the mischievous gent. This entertaining biography celebrates the life and career of the ultimate English cad.
