I think Robert Harris will confirm that the MFL vaults contain no trace of the Margaret Rutherford screen tests as Liza in MFL. She could get the accent but apparently her age was held against her. Another case of ageism working against sublime talent.

How fanastic. A great end to your quest. John's personal friendship with so many artists is why the foyers of the Victorian Arts Centre are home to their great art works.
