Synopsis
Moving, unexpectedly funny and completely frank documentary about the last months of the larger-than-life jazz singer and writer George Melly.
Diagnosed with vascular dementia and lung cancer, George is determined to keep on entertaining to the very end. Cared for by Diana, his wife of 44 years, he prepares for a new set of concerts with a finale at the 100 Club, the venue where he launched his career 60 years earlier.
