Morrissey's influences (120 movies items)

"This post-war British film was mentioned at some point by Morrissey as one of his favourites. (source needed) Actor Patric Doonan who is mentioned in Morrissey's "Now My Heart Is Full" plays in this movie. According to biography Len Brown, Morrissey asked for the rights to have excerpts of this movie used for the video of his "Hold On To Your Friends" single, but was denied permission by actor Dirk Bogarde. Morrissey's version of the classic "Moonriver" features a sample of this film's character"
