Hattie Jacques as Roman lady in West End revue

1965 - The prop man stands ready to cope with anything. And Hattie, her wreath awry, finishes her song gallantly while lying on the table. A Roman Scandal In A West End Revue: One of the highlights of the new intimates revue, The Bells of St. Martins at the St. Martins Theatre, is In Perspective in which outsize comedienne Hattie Jacques appears inside a picture frame, seated at a table with three Roman admirers, Hattie sings to them nostalgically while they drink toasts to her beauty. All is well until an apple rolls down the table and out of sight, then Hattie herself starts to fall, she tries desperately to save herself but thrusting a leg over the table, it is too late and she ends spread eagled on the table, her wreath awry but still gamely finishing her song. Photographers take you behind the scenes and show you how two tough propmen hold Hattie during her Ordeal. (Credit Image: (c) Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS.com/Mary Evans)
