Description
Two English Gentlemen in Hollywood
GEORGE SANDERS and DAVID NIVEN CD
24 TRACKS on one CD
Two quintessential ‘English Gentlemen’, GEORGE SANDERS and DAVID NIVEN became huge international stars during ‘The Golden Age Of Hollywood’. Sanders was actually born in Russia, although his family came to the UK at the outbreak of the Russian Revolution.
Niven was a Sandhurst graduate, which where he perfected his trademark ‘officer and gentleman’ bearing.
Whilst domiciled and working in Hollywood, each actor recorded a memorable LP, both of which are paired up on this unique release. Sanders, a talented musician and an excellent singer, cut an album of standards, titled ‘The George Sanders Touch… Songs For The Lovely Lady’. Niven opted for the ‘spoken word’ route, with ‘David Niven Reads The World’s Most Famous Love Letters’.
