4. The Real Life of an eminent English Composer. A TV movie about the romantic life of Arnold Bax (1883-1953). Set in 1948, it is remarkably accurate, as Bax loved women and had many affairs, including a long relationship with virtuoso pianist Harriet Cohen (1895-1967) played here by Glenda Jackson. As in the movie, Cohen expected Bax to marry her once his wife died, but he never mentioned his wife's death or proposed, as he preferred to chase after younger women. This was the final screen appearance of Glenda Jackson for nearly three decades, until (2019). She quit acting to enter politics, serving as a Member of Parliament from 1992 to 2015. The clip is the entire program, the first scene shows Glenda Jackson. Have you seen "The Secret Life of Arnold Bax"?
