"Lipstick on Your Collar" (1993) , UK Channel 4 mini-series , Written & Produced by Dennis Potter

Ewan McGregors first acting role, done 6 months from completing acting school, and he never looked back.

A tale of youthful lust, against a backdrop of the 1956 Suez crisis and national service. Interspersed with some great music from the start of the Rock & Roll era, which, for some reason the cast just start singing along to. Seems silly, and it is, but it works, and adds the right touch to the storyline, reflecting all those times when you wish life was a musical. (IMDb)

"I like the sort of music where "moon" don't rhyme with "June," and you're not up to your backside in bloody buttercups. Songs that aren't about your mum and dad. A bit rough. A beat that busts up the old way...the old stodge...the empire...and knowing your place, and "excuse me," and dressing up, and doing what you're told, and not once being asked! " (Private Hopper ''Ewan McGregor'') (IMDb)

  • I'm looking for the Dick Jacobs version, too, as well as Calypso Melody by George Cates. Believe both these conductors recorded for Coral Records back then. The Dick Jacobs version of this was also known as "Main Title and Mollyo", the Mollyo being a short vocal at the end referring to the Kim Novak character in the film.

  • What happened to the Dick Jacobs version from 1956> It was in the Top 40..not this version

  • This is a competing version that was on the Billboard charts at the same time...this version peaked at Number 49 in April of 56.

  • where is this from? this isn't the elemer bernstein version i know..... great stuff
