Profile of surrealist and theatrical photographer and eccentric Suffolk resident, Angus McBean, introduced and narrated by arts journalist, Sheridan Morley. Footage of Angus McBean in the grounds of his home, with commentary by Sheridan Morley emphasizing McBean’s eccentric persona and detailing his enviable career as a West End photographer.
