I think it was " A Kid for Two Farthings" Mike, I havnt seen it in years and cant recall what it was like except for a child pushing its way through a crowded market.

"Dream of Olwen" is a piece of music I learned to play when I was 13 (on the piano). Gave my music to a German when I was 16, and spent the next umpteen years trying to find it again, and got it quite recently from a company advertised in "Yours" magazine. Cost me £6 for a photocopy, but it was worth it. Problem was, I wanted the song version in the key of F, because I didn't want to learn something new. From the film "While I live" - sung very nicely by the Luton Girls' Choir, too. Haven't we had this conversation before - didn't someone on the list say her relative was in the Luton Girls' choir?

My mam used to say to all her friends, pushing me to the front, "Here we are, meet the dream of Olwen." Didn't know what she meant until now!

Yes Mikey I forgot the 'two'. Strange isn't it Dream of Olwyn is early childhood. The Red Balloon I can never forget and I did see it in recent years on foreign TV - language doesn't matter. I it always gave me a romanticised view of Paris and I longed one day to walk in streets like that and see those big street doors etc...years later (even this year) I achieved that ambition - even working on a Seine boat at one time in the 80's.
