Frankie Howerd: Rather You Than Me

The private life of Frankie Howerd was racked with depression and self-loathing of his own sexuality. His partner and manager, Dennis Heymer, would guide Howerd's career from the early 1960s - a time when little work and the death of his mother made him consider leaving show business, to the 1990s, when Howerd's comic genius found appreciation amongst a new, younger audience.
