          In that case, clearly the answer is 'Priceless'.

                    I'm guessing that he has worked with all of them in some way.

                        Previn wrote an opera entitled 'A Streetcar Named Desire' based on Tennessee Williams' stage play

                        He wrote another opera based on Brief Encounter a film that Coward adapted from a play/short story

                        Previn played jazz piano duet with Oscar Peterson

                        He was married to Mia Farrow who also married Woody Allen

                        He recorded Mozart piano concertos with Bernstain

                        And finally he appeared with a magnificently straight face in that sketch with Morecambe & Wise

                        Over to you for a Q ... or an R if you would prefer, Ofca?

                            What a brilliant question, ammy !

                            Brilliantly answered too

                            I was nowhere near it
                            "...the isle is full of noises,
                            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                                JH was seen in action on a 'A graduated circle printed on a map or chart from which bearings can be taken' in 1953.
