		Kendall, a delicious light comedienne, seemed to have the potential for international stardom and might well have achieved it had not leukaemia caused her tragically early death at the age of 33 in I959.

	MMI Book Review: The Brief Madcap Life of Kay Kendall
		Posthumously, she is remembered as Rex Harrison's 3rd wife whom he couldn't bear to tell the grim truth: Kendall was dying of leukemia throughout their two-year marriage.
		The title of Golden's book (co-written with Kim Kendall, Kay's sister) is "The Brief Madcap Life Of Kay Kendall." In spite of her delicate health and the fact Rex Harrison seems to be rather an ungallant beast, Kay Kendall 's life is filled with a sense of fun and mischief.
		Kay Kendall emerged as a vivid flash of light on celluloid and perhaps this reappraisal of her life and work will lead to more of her films being made available on video.

		Lady Sybil Wren (Kay Kendall) was part of the Barry Nichols and Les Girls cabaret act for some time, so she knew the inner workings of the production.
		That means she knows all the inside information, hot stories, and steamy gossip, since she was there herself to take it all in, as opposed to just being told of the accounts.
		Mitzi Gaynor, Taina Elg, and Kay Kendall headline the female attractions, but you'll also witness a number of other beauties, including some that could pass for high end models, so its a nice assortment of ladies.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Les Girls
		The story's told in flashback as one of the girls, played by Kay Kendall, is being sued for libel by one of the others (Taina Elg) over a tell-all autobiography.
		The tales that the girls tell are wildly different (one of the film's biggest weaknesses is that their stories share almost no common elements, destroying any cleverness in the gimmick), and finally, in the third act, Kelly shows up to give his version of events.
		It's a bit of fluff, but it does provide an overview of the film's background, including a segment on Kay Kendall, who'd been diagnosed with leukemia and died just three years after making the film.

		The title comes from the 1904 roadster owned by Alan and Wendy McKim (John Gregson and Dinah Sheridan), who, on the return trip, challenge their friends Ambrose (Kenneth More) and Rosalind (Kay Kendall) to a friendly race.
		From Kay Kendall's trumpet solo to Kenneth More's ongoing battle with his girlfriend's dog, each one has at least a few priceless bits of character business.
		That old stalwart Arthur Wontner has a lovely, touching bit at the finale, and the whole film is so good it makes you regret that Henry Cornelius didn't make more films than he did.

		Doctor in the House is the first in a series of seven Doctor movies made with more or less the same cast and crew, all based on a popular British series of comic novels by Richard Gordon.
		Alongside more pressing concerns - such as the study of anatomy and the impact of decent sewerage on the public health of the nation - Simon encounters the landlady from hell (Joan Hickson) and her nymphomaniac daughter (Shirley Eaton, who was memorably killed by gold paint in Goldfinger).
		He also half-heartedly romances a wealthy older woman (the irrepressible Kay Kendall), even though his heart belongs to young nurse, Joy (Pavlow).
