 | | He enjoyed several modest successes as a composer and writer for the stage and also for the BBC (which he joined in the 1920s), principally in collaboration with George Posford and occasionally with Jack Strachey, in addition to publishing several novels and authoring radio scripts, often using the pseudonym Holt Marvell. |
 | | His 1936 musical +The Gay Hussar, later retitled +Balalaika, was transported from the London stage to Hollywood at the end of the decade, and Maschwitz also earned an Oscar nomination for his co-authoring of the script for Goodbye, Mr. |
 | | Maschwitz also later co-wrote "A Nightingale Sang in Barkeley Square," which became deeply evocative of wartime England and the early '40s, and has enjoyed a considerable life of its own as a pop standard in the hands of virtually every major singer of the mid-20th century. |
