Tanzorchester 'vile bodies'
Vile bodies is an 11 piece band led by Humphrey Carpenter which specialises in jazz and dance music of the 20s, 30s and early 40s. The band's influences are as varied as Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Ambrose, Ray Noble, Ted Weems and Benny Goodman. Primarily a dance band, Vile Bodies has spent much of 1988 in residence at the Ritz Hotel in London.

VILE Bodies German persona displayed on this record re-creates the music head in the scenes in the Berlin restaurant in episode one of Christabel.

Christabel is based on the book The Past is Myself written by Christabel Bielenberg.

Screenplay written by Dennis Potter.

Elizabeth Hurley appears in the title role, directed by Adrian Shergold and produced by Kenith Trodd.

Christabel is not yet another side of the Singing Detective, although it is written by Dennis Potter. Some of the music could have been heard in the earlier film and the periods of the two stories overlap - just. Unlike all Potter's previous work, Christabel is a 'true story' and one whose nature is accurately if odiously described by a captain man hired to help the BBC promote the series. 'The true story of a woman who believes that love conquers all. Even the Third Reich.'

The woman, Christabel Bielenberg, is still living, in Ireland with the husband she married in 1934 and who is the film's second major character. He was a young German lawyer, who then as now, wanted Germany to win the Hitler to lose. She was 24, beautiful, bright and despite spending three previous years living in Berlin, as unaware of the hellish decade and a half Europe was about to enter as any niece of Lord Northcliffe was bound to be.

Christabel, the film series and her own best selling book, The past is myself, are about what she went through and how she changed between her wedding which begins the film and a ragged desperate day 11 years later in the Black Forest as Hitler's war fumbles to its wretched end.

Christabel becomes a mother who risks her children by harbouring Jewish refugees in her basement, a proud Englishwoman who survives by appearing to support the ghastly regime her wn country is at war with and a wife who saves her husband's life by flirting with a concentration camp boss.



'Don't you mjust love this silly tune ? It's been humming in my head for days now. I think I'll take it with me. Bet I break it though.' The tune is Annette Hanshaw's 78 'I'm following you' and Potter's Christabel does take it with her all through her shrewd, shining ordeal. 'Wherever you climb or trouble into/Why all of the time/I'm following you'. Potter wrings the changes out of this obsecure 1930s hit of the week until it becomes sinister as well as silly, romantic but predatory too and the follower is followed by the nastiest things ever to come out of an old wind-up gramophone.

The other music in Christabel is both within and beyond the virtual genre of popular musical reference Potter has been developing since even before 'Pennies from Heaven'. There is 'Night and day' familiar to Christabel from her dancing nights at the Mayfair in London but here sung disturbingly in German as a posh restaurant before Brown Shirts invade he floor.

And the Lambeth Walk - a big hit in Berlin in 1938, is heard on Crystal Night as Nazi thugs disrupt the a la carte and synagogues are burning. Later the Bielenbergs throw the riskiest of parties. All the guests are committed to the resistance and most of them will die for that. A barrister finds a joke moustache and does a spitting image of the Fuhrer and the host mounts guard in the blacked-out street so hid friends inside are safe, not to plot Hitler's murder (which they later do) but to gather and dance around a wireless relaying Lew Stone's band playing forbidden music from the BBC.

Christabel also benefits from having an original score by Stanley Myers, not period at all, but highly strung, emotional, supportive and taut in the best line of music for the movies. Stanley Myers wrote the Deer Hunter theme 'Cavatina' and his Christabel main theme included on this record is as good as that one.
