It’s a prestigious Film Award Evening, however there’s a technical hitch. Never mind, one of the best known British Movie stars, David Niven, is on hand to entertain. He takes us on a journey through the Golden Era of Hollywood, with hilarious stories and a cast of Hollywood greats. But is there a touch of sadness behind the non stop stories and self deprecating chat?
David Niven Presents gives us an hour in Niven's excellent company, a superb raconteur and just plain fun to be with.
Paul Lavers has previously played "Niv" in ‘Seven Spies at the Casino’. Here are a few comments on his performance:
‘Like Niven, Lavers is a charming storyteller, who occasionally slips into other characters to weave this hour-long monologue. Lavers is witty, easy to watch and tells a fascinating, well researched tale.
The hour felt like it had slipped by far too quickly..‘ BroadwayBaby.com
‘Beyond the pencil moustache and evening dress, however, he presents far more than a caricature of Niven, taking us into the actor’s life off set and skillfully shedding just enough light and emotion on personal tragedies amid the name-dropping.’ Christopher Barbour
Paul Lavers is an excellent Niven with just the right sort of storytelling style. That Lavers …….allows his Niven to share some painful personal memories before returning to the safe world of cinematic shallowness is a credit to the actor's ease of technique.’ Victor Hallett
