"Tragedy is only possible to a mind which is for the moment agnostic or Manichean. The least touch of any theology which has a compensating Heaven to offer to the tragic hero is fatal." - I. A. Richards, ‘Principles of Literary Criticism’ (1924)

The Saint: The Death Game (5.17, ITC, 1967)
"You see, some people do not take kindly to the pressures I exert. Naturally, I have to enforce this by having them executed - preferably in such a way that it appears to be an accident. I should like to consider you two ideal candidates for my pressure department. Your starting salaries will be seventy-five thousand dollars a year."
"And we start with Templar."

WHO CHNT CHARACTERS REMIND ME OF ALTHOUGH THERES NO REASONING:
- Sydney : Rodrick Heffley and Jay Walker ( diary of a wimpy kid and ninjago. )
- Jedidiah : Ford Pines, Dipper Pines, Ivor and Lucas. ( Gravity Falls and Minecraft story mode. )
- Elijah : The Lamb, Jason Dean and Emperor Belos. ( Cult of the lamb, Heathers and The Owl House. )
So....erm...they just remind me of them, I don't mean like Sydney is literally Jay Walker or anything. It just when I think of one I think of the other.
- 🐀
i showed my friends chnt once and they said Jedidiah sounded like dipper. And looked like dipper. So

Flo Milli, Moodymann, J. Dilla Tribute & More At The Broad For Mickalene Thomas Exhibition
The Broad Art Museum in Los Angeles has announced a new season of programs for the Mickalene Thomas: All About Love special exhibition. The show opened on May 25, 2024, and will travel to the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, and the Hayward Gallery, London. The show's title is taken from late feminist icon bell hooks and the exhibition is a celebration of Black feminist creativity, critiques, communal care, and thinking about new ways to love. Tickets are on sale now at thebroad.org.
There will be Live music, workshops, comedy and a night of films by LGBTQIA+ directors. The Broad is making Black and queer voices prominent within the context of Thomas's exhibition which comprises 20 years of work. The concert series includes a night dedicated to J.Dilla led by Moodymann on July 19th. Rapper Flo Milli will do a show with singers Fousheé and METTE on July 20th. The shows are for all ages and the tickets include access to all galleries including Mickalene Thomas: All About Love.
Program Schedule
Summer Concerts at The Broad: Dilla’s House Friday, July 19, 2024 | 8-11 pm Tickets: $65 Event Location: East West Bank Plaza at The Broad, First Floor Galleries It’s the summer of J Dilla in Los Angeles, and The Broad joins the festivities by honoring the revered artist who would have been 50 this year. On the heels of Dilla Jazz at The Ford, Dilla’s House at The Broad features artists who knew and worked with Dilla, who have been inspired by his pioneering methods, and who exemplify a spirit of cross-pollination that Dilla and other artists cultivated, including the dearly loved and recently departed Amp Fiddler. With a special focus on the uplifting and soulful side of house and dance music through the lens of Dilla’s legacy, the event will have guests dancing under the stars on the museum’s outdoor plaza. An ensemble performance helmed by Detroit’s Moodymann will feature fellow Motor City icons Dames Brown on vocals, Dez Andrés on the ones and twos and percussion, and Mark de Clive-Lowe on keys and beat machines. The evening will warm up fast with LA’s ownDJ Ashley Younniä; local music maven DJ Rashida will keep the energy levels up to close out the night. The evening will be hosted by The Yancey Boys AKA Illa J + Frank Nitt and is co-curated by Mahogani Music and Fusicology.
Summer Concerts at The Broad: Flo Milli + Fousheé + METTE Saturday, July 20, 2024 | 8-11 pm Tickets: $75 Event Location: East West Bank Plaza at The Broad
Continuing the celebration of Black creativity in music and art, The Broad and RCA Records partner on a special night featuring Flo Milli, Fousheé, and METTE. Tonight, with music we celebrate The Broad’s Special Exhibition: Mickalene Thomas: All About Love. The artists performing embody powerful, positive depictions of Black women that can also be found in the Mickalene Thomas’s exhibition.
Enjoy intimate yet electrifying live sets by these talented Black artists on the East West Bank Plaza, headlined by multi-platinum rapper Flo Milli. Hailing from Alabama, Flo rose from viral TikTok sensation in 2018 to garnering a #1 at Urban Radio and making Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for her hit “Never Lose Me,” which is a testimony to both her talent and tenacity. Flo dropped her latest album Fine Ho, Stay in March of this year and she’s currently a special guest on Gunna’s The Bittersweet Tour. Also on the bill for this special evening under the stars is Grammy-nominated songwriter Fousheé, whose genre-bending repertoire melds alt-rock and soul, and METTE, a boundless artist unrestricted by the need to align with one genre, whose creativity has already earned her an Ivor-Novello nomination for her song, “Mama’s Eyes.”
RCA shared this statement about partnering with The Broad: “We’re thrilled to work with The Broad on this special artist event in celebration of the incredible work of Mickalene Thomas. We believe deeply in the intersection of art and music and our participating artists, Flo Milli, Fousheé and METTE are true creatives, visionaries, songwriters, and performers. We look forward to a continued partnership with the fantastic team of curators at The Broad as we work together to bring art & music to life in new and innovative ways.”

Rajesh Khanna could've retired from cinema altogether after the film 'Mehbooba' in 1976 ie. after 10 yrs of work, & still be remembered today, ahead of Gerard Depardieu, as officially, 'The Most Famous Actor In the Entire History of World Cinema' !
He would work at exactly the same pace 12 more yrs!

Ivor Novello
Ivor Novello (nascido David Ivor Davies ; 15 de janeiro de 1893 - 6 de março de 1951) foi um ator, dramaturgo, cantor e compositor galês que se tornou um dos artistas britânicos mais populares da primeira metade do século XX.
Ele nasceu em uma família musical, e seus primeiros sucessos foram como compositor. Seu primeiro grande sucesso foi “ Keep the Home Fires Burning ” (1914), que foi enormemente popular durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial . Seu show de 1917, Theodore & Co , foi um sucesso de guerra. Após a guerra, Novello contribuiu com números para várias comédias musicais de sucesso e acabou sendo contratado para escrever as partituras de shows completos. Ele escreveu seus musicais no estilo de opereta e frequentemente compôs sua música para os libretos de Christopher Hassall .
Na década de 1920, ele se voltou para a atuação, primeiro em filmes britânicos e depois no palco, com considerável sucesso em ambos. Ele estrelou dois filmes mudos dirigidos por Alfred Hitchcock , The Lodger e Downhill (ambos de 1927). No palco, ele interpretou o personagem-título na primeira produção londrina de Liliom (1926). Novello foi brevemente para Hollywood , mas logo retornou à Grã-Bretanha, onde teve mais sucessos, especialmente no palco, aparecendo em suas próprias produções luxuosas de musicais no West End . Os mais conhecidos deles foram Glamorous Night (1935) e The Dancing Years (1939).
A partir da década de 1930, ele frequentemente se apresentou com Zena Dare , escrevendo partes para ela em suas obras. Ele continuou a escrever para cinema, mas em sua carreira posterior seus maiores sucessos foram com musicais de palco: Perchance to Dream (1945), King’s Rhapsody (1949) e Gay’s the Word (1951).
O Prêmio Ivor Novello recebeu seu nome em 1955.
Novello nasceu David Ivor Davies em Cardiff , País de Gales, filho de David Davies (c. 1852–1931), um cobrador de aluguel do conselho municipal, e sua esposa, Clara Novello Davies , uma professora de canto e regente coral internacionalmente conhecida. Quando menino, Novello foi um cantor de sucesso no Eisteddfod galês . Sua mãe se estabeleceu como professora de canto em Londres, onde conheceu artistas importantes, incluindo membros da companhia Gaiety Theatre de George Edwardes , músicos clássicos como Landon Ronald e cantores como Adelina Patti . Outra associada de sua mãe foi Clara Butt , que o ensinou a cantar “ Abide with Me ” quando ele era um menino de seis anos.
Novello foi educado em particular em Cardiff e depois em Gloucester, onde estudou harmonia e contraponto com Herbert Brewer , o organista da catedral. De lá, ele ganhou uma bolsa de estudos para a Magdalen College School em Oxford , onde foi um solista no coro da faculdade. Mais tarde, ele disse que essa exposição prolongada da juventude à música coral sacra inicial havia transformado seus gostos, em reação, para a música romântica exuberante. Embora Brewer tivesse dito a ele que não teria uma carreira na música, Novello desde sua juventude mostrou facilidade para escrever canções e, quando tinha apenas 15 anos, uma de suas canções foi publicada. Depois de deixar a escola, ele deu aulas de piano em Cardiff e depois se mudou para Londres em 1913 com sua mãe. Eles alugaram um apartamento acima do Strand Theatre , que se tornou sua casa em Londres pelo resto de sua vida.
Em 1914, no início da Primeira Guerra Mundial , Novello escreveu “ Keep the Home Fires Burning ”, uma canção que expressava os sentimentos de inúmeras famílias separadas pela guerra. Novello compôs a música para a canção com uma letra da americana Lena Guilbert Ford , e se tornou um enorme sucesso popular, trazendo dinheiro e fama a Novello aos 21 anos. Em outros aspectos, a guerra teve menos impacto em Novello do que em muitos jovens de sua idade. Ele evitou o alistamento até junho de 1916, quando se apresentou a um depósito de treinamento do Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) como subtenente de voo probatório. Depois que Novello caiu com seus aviões duas vezes, Marsh organizou sua mudança para o escritório do Almirantado no centro de Londres pelo resto da guerra.
Compositor e ator
Novello continuou a escrever canções enquanto servia na RNAS. Ele teve seu primeiro sucesso no palco com Theodore & Co em 1916, uma produção de George Grossmith Jr. e Edward Laurillard com uma trilha sonora composta por Novello e o jovem Jerome Kern . No mesmo ano, Novello contribuiu para a revista See-Saw de André Charlot . Em 1917, ele escreveu para outra produção de Grossmith e Laurillard, a opereta Arlette , para a qual contribuiu com números adicionais para uma trilha sonora francesa existente de Jane Vieu e Guy le Feuvre. No mesmo ano, Marsh o apresentou ao ator Bobbie Andrews , que se tornou o parceiro de vida de Novello. Andrews apresentou Novello ao jovem Noël Coward . Coward, seis anos mais novo que Novello, tinha muita inveja do glamour sem esforço de Novello. Ele escreveu: “De repente, senti-me consciente do longo caminho que tinha de percorrer antes de poder entrar na atmosfera mágica em que ele se movia e respirava com tanta indiferença”.
Em 1918 e depois da guerra, Novello continuou a escrever com sucesso para comédia musical e revista. O primeiro incluiu Who’s Hooper? (1919), uma adaptação de uma peça de Pinero , com um livro de Fred Thompson , letras de Clifford Grey e música de Howard Talbot e Novello, e The Golden Moth de Thompson e PG Wodehouse (1921), para o qual Novello forneceu a partitura completa. Para Charlot, ele contribuiu com números para as revistas Tabs (1918), A to Z (1921) e Puppets (1924). Para o segundo deles, suas canções incluíram um de seus poucos números de comédia conhecidos, “And Her Mother Came Too”, com letras de Dion Titheradge , escritas para Jack Buchanan .
Ao mesmo tempo em que seus sucessos como compositor, Novello estava fazendo carreira como ator. Com “um perfil clássico que lhe rendeu status de ídolo de matinê entre o público cinéfilo”, ele foi procurado, com base em uma fotografia publicitária, pelo diretor de cinema suíço Louis Mercanton . Mercanton ofereceu-lhe um papel no cinema mudo como protagonista romântico em The Call of the Blood (1920). No mesmo ano, ele fez outro filme para Mercanton, Miarka . Novello fez seu primeiro filme britânico, Carnival , no ano seguinte. Nina Vanna e Novello em O Homem Sem Desejo (1923)
Novello fez sua estreia no palco em 1921 em Deburau de Sacha Guitry , e, entre outros compromissos no palco nos anos seguintes, ele interpretou Bingley em uma adaptação beneficente de Orgulho e Preconceito . Nessa época, Novello teve um caso com o escritor Siegfried Sassoon ; durou pouco, mas nas palavras do biógrafo de Sassoon, John Stuart Roberts, Novello “era um flertador consumado que colecionava amantes como colecionava lilases”.
Morte e legado
Novello morreu repentinamente de uma trombose coronária aos 58 anos, poucas horas depois de completar uma apresentação de King’s Rhapsody . Ele foi cremado no Crematório Golders Green , e suas cinzas estão enterradas sob um arbusto lilás e marcadas com uma placa que diz “Ivor Novello 6 de março de 1951 ‘Até que você esteja em casa mais uma vez’." Ele deixou um patrimônio no valor de £ 160.000 (£ 6 milhões em 2023).
Apenas algumas semanas antes da morte de Novello, Coward escreveu sobre ele: "O teatro - bom, mau e indiferente - é o amor da sua vida. Para ele, outros empreendimentos humanos são meras sombras. … A recompensa do seu trabalho reside no facto indiscutível de que sempre que e onde quer que ele apareça, a vasta maioria do público britânico se aglomera para vê-lo." O Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians escreve sobre Novello que ele foi "até ao advento de Andrew Lloyd Webber , o compositor de musicais britânicos mais consistentemente bem-sucedido do século XX”.
Os Prêmios Ivor Novello para composição, estabelecidos em 1955 em memória de Novello, são concedidos a cada ano pela The Ivors Academy (antigamente a Academia Britânica de Compositores, Compositores e Autores (BASCA)) a compositores e compositores britânicos, bem como a um escritor musical internacional de destaque. Uma bolsa de estudos em memória de Novello foi estabelecida na Royal Academy of Dramatic Art , e em 1952 um busto de bronze dele por Clemence Dane foi inaugurado em Drury Lane. Em St. Paul’s, Covent Garden , conhecida como a igreja dos atores , um painel foi instalado para comemorar Novello, e em 1972, para marcar o 21º aniversário de sua morte, uma pedra memorial foi inaugurada na Catedral de St. Paul .
Em 1993, o centenário do nascimento de Novello foi marcado por vários shows comemorativos em todo o Reino Unido, incluindo um no Players Theatre em Londres. Em 2005, o Strand Theatre , acima do qual Novello viveu por muitos anos, foi renomeado para Novello Theatre, com uma placa em sua homenagem colocada na entrada. Em 27 de junho de 2009, uma estátua de Novello foi inaugurada do lado de fora do Wales Millennium Centre em Cardiff Bay . Placas detalhando algumas de suas canções mais conhecidas são colocadas no pedestal, junto com uma dedicatória a Novello. A memória de Novello é promovida pelo The Ivor Novello Appreciation Bureau , que realiza eventos anuais em toda a Grã-Bretanha, incluindo uma peregrinação anual a Redroofs todo mês de junho. Redroofs foi vendido após a morte de Novello e agora é uma escola de treinamento teatral.
Novello foi retratado no filme Gosford Park de Robert Altman de 2001 por Jeremy Northam , e várias de suas canções foram usadas na trilha sonora do filme, incluindo “Waltz of My Heart”, “And Her Mother Came Too”, “I Can Give You the Starlight”, “What a Duke Should Be”, “Why Isn’t It You?” e “The Land of Might-Have-Been”. Jeremy Irvine interpretou Novello no filme Benediction de Terence Davies de 2021 , sobre a vida de seu antigo amante, o poeta de guerra Siegfried Sassoon .
Ivor Novello by Paul Tanqueray, 1932

Ivor Novello
Ivor Novello (nascido David Ivor Davies ; 15 de janeiro de 1893 - 6 de março de 1951) foi um ator, dramaturgo, cantor e compositor galês que se tornou um dos artistas britânicos mais populares da primeira metade do século XX.
Ele nasceu em uma família musical, e seus primeiros sucessos foram como compositor. Seu primeiro grande sucesso foi " Keep the Home Fires Burning " (1914), que foi enormemente popular durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial . Seu show de 1917, Theodore & Co , foi um sucesso de guerra. Após a guerra, Novello contribuiu com números para várias comédias musicais de sucesso e acabou sendo contratado para escrever as partituras de shows completos. Ele escreveu seus musicais no estilo de opereta e frequentemente compôs sua música para os libretos de Christopher Hassall .
Na década de 1920, ele se voltou para a atuação, primeiro em filmes britânicos e depois no palco, com considerável sucesso em ambos. Ele estrelou dois filmes mudos dirigidos por Alfred Hitchcock , The Lodger e Downhill (ambos de 1927). No palco, ele interpretou o personagem-título na primeira produção londrina de Liliom (1926). Novello foi brevemente para Hollywood , mas logo retornou à Grã-Bretanha, onde teve mais sucessos, especialmente no palco, aparecendo em suas próprias produções luxuosas de musicais no West End . Os mais conhecidos deles foram Glamorous Night (1935) e The Dancing Years (1939).
A partir da década de 1930, ele frequentemente se apresentou com Zena Dare , escrevendo partes para ela em suas obras. Ele continuou a escrever para cinema, mas em sua carreira posterior seus maiores sucessos foram com musicais de palco: Perchance to Dream (1945), King's Rhapsody (1949) e Gay's the Word (1951).
O Prêmio Ivor Novello recebeu seu nome em 1955.
Novello nasceu David Ivor Davies em Cardiff , País de Gales, filho de David Davies (c. 1852–1931), um cobrador de aluguel do conselho municipal, e sua esposa, Clara Novello Davies , uma professora de canto e regente coral internacionalmente conhecida. Quando menino, Novello foi um cantor de sucesso no Eisteddfod galês . Sua mãe se estabeleceu como professora de canto em Londres, onde conheceu artistas importantes, incluindo membros da companhia Gaiety Theatre de George Edwardes , músicos clássicos como Landon Ronald e cantores como Adelina Patti . Outra associada de sua mãe foi Clara Butt , que o ensinou a cantar " Abide with Me " quando ele era um menino de seis anos.
Novello foi educado em particular em Cardiff e depois em Gloucester, onde estudou harmonia e contraponto com Herbert Brewer , o organista da catedral. De lá, ele ganhou uma bolsa de estudos para a Magdalen College School em Oxford , onde foi um solista no coro da faculdade. Mais tarde, ele disse que essa exposição prolongada da juventude à música coral sacra inicial havia transformado seus gostos, em reação, para a música romântica exuberante. Embora Brewer tivesse dito a ele que não teria uma carreira na música, Novello desde sua juventude mostrou facilidade para escrever canções e, quando tinha apenas 15 anos, uma de suas canções foi publicada. Depois de deixar a escola, ele deu aulas de piano em Cardiff e depois se mudou para Londres em 1913 com sua mãe. Eles alugaram um apartamento acima do Strand Theatre , que se tornou sua casa em Londres pelo resto de sua vida.
Em 1914, no início da Primeira Guerra Mundial , Novello escreveu " Keep the Home Fires Burning ", uma canção que expressava os sentimentos de inúmeras famílias separadas pela guerra. Novello compôs a música para a canção com uma letra da americana Lena Guilbert Ford , e se tornou um enorme sucesso popular, trazendo dinheiro e fama a Novello aos 21 anos. Em outros aspectos, a guerra teve menos impacto em Novello do que em muitos jovens de sua idade. Ele evitou o alistamento até junho de 1916, quando se apresentou a um depósito de treinamento do Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) como subtenente de voo probatório. Depois que Novello caiu com seus aviões duas vezes, Marsh organizou sua mudança para o escritório do Almirantado no centro de Londres pelo resto da guerra.
Compositor e ator
Novello continuou a escrever canções enquanto servia na RNAS. Ele teve seu primeiro sucesso no palco com Theodore & Co em 1916, uma produção de George Grossmith Jr. e Edward Laurillard com uma trilha sonora composta por Novello e o jovem Jerome Kern . No mesmo ano, Novello contribuiu para a revista See-Saw de André Charlot . Em 1917, ele escreveu para outra produção de Grossmith e Laurillard, a opereta Arlette , para a qual contribuiu com números adicionais para uma trilha sonora francesa existente de Jane Vieu e Guy le Feuvre. No mesmo ano, Marsh o apresentou ao ator Bobbie Andrews , que se tornou o parceiro de vida de Novello. Andrews apresentou Novello ao jovem Noël Coward . Coward, seis anos mais novo que Novello, tinha muita inveja do glamour sem esforço de Novello. Ele escreveu: "De repente, senti-me consciente do longo caminho que tinha de percorrer antes de poder entrar na atmosfera mágica em que ele se movia e respirava com tanta indiferença".
Em 1918 e depois da guerra, Novello continuou a escrever com sucesso para comédia musical e revista. O primeiro incluiu Who's Hooper? (1919), uma adaptação de uma peça de Pinero , com um livro de Fred Thompson , letras de Clifford Grey e música de Howard Talbot e Novello, e The Golden Moth de Thompson e PG Wodehouse (1921), para o qual Novello forneceu a partitura completa. Para Charlot, ele contribuiu com números para as revistas Tabs (1918), A to Z (1921) e Puppets (1924). Para o segundo deles, suas canções incluíram um de seus poucos números de comédia conhecidos, "And Her Mother Came Too", com letras de Dion Titheradge , escritas para Jack Buchanan .
Ao mesmo tempo em que seus sucessos como compositor, Novello estava fazendo carreira como ator. Com "um perfil clássico que lhe rendeu status de ídolo de matinê entre o público cinéfilo", ele foi procurado, com base em uma fotografia publicitária, pelo diretor de cinema suíço Louis Mercanton . Mercanton ofereceu-lhe um papel no cinema mudo como protagonista romântico em The Call of the Blood (1920). No mesmo ano, ele fez outro filme para Mercanton, Miarka . Novello fez seu primeiro filme britânico, Carnival , no ano seguinte. Nina Vanna e Novello em O Homem Sem Desejo (1923)
Novello fez sua estreia no palco em 1921 em Deburau de Sacha Guitry , e, entre outros compromissos no palco nos anos seguintes, ele interpretou Bingley em uma adaptação beneficente de Orgulho e Preconceito . Nessa época, Novello teve um caso com o escritor Siegfried Sassoon ; durou pouco, mas nas palavras do biógrafo de Sassoon, John Stuart Roberts, Novello "era um flertador consumado que colecionava amantes como colecionava lilases".
Morte e legado
Novello morreu repentinamente de uma trombose coronária aos 58 anos, poucas horas depois de completar uma apresentação de King's Rhapsody . Ele foi cremado no Crematório Golders Green , e suas cinzas estão enterradas sob um arbusto lilás e marcadas com uma placa que diz "Ivor Novello 6 de março de 1951 'Até que você esteja em casa mais uma vez'." Ele deixou um patrimônio no valor de £ 160.000 (£ 6 milhões em 2023).
Apenas algumas semanas antes da morte de Novello, Coward escreveu sobre ele: "O teatro - bom, mau e indiferente - é o amor da sua vida. Para ele, outros empreendimentos humanos são meras sombras. ... A recompensa do seu trabalho reside no facto indiscutível de que sempre que e onde quer que ele apareça, a vasta maioria do público britânico se aglomera para vê-lo." O Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians escreve sobre Novello que ele foi "até ao advento de Andrew Lloyd Webber , o compositor de musicais britânicos mais consistentemente bem-sucedido do século XX".
Os Prêmios Ivor Novello para composição, estabelecidos em 1955 em memória de Novello, são concedidos a cada ano pela The Ivors Academy (antigamente a Academia Britânica de Compositores, Compositores e Autores (BASCA)) a compositores e compositores britânicos, bem como a um escritor musical internacional de destaque. Uma bolsa de estudos em memória de Novello foi estabelecida na Royal Academy of Dramatic Art , e em 1952 um busto de bronze dele por Clemence Dane foi inaugurado em Drury Lane. Em St. Paul's, Covent Garden , conhecida como a igreja dos atores , um painel foi instalado para comemorar Novello, e em 1972, para marcar o 21º aniversário de sua morte, uma pedra memorial foi inaugurada na Catedral de St. Paul .
Em 1993, o centenário do nascimento de Novello foi marcado por vários shows comemorativos em todo o Reino Unido, incluindo um no Players Theatre em Londres. Em 2005, o Strand Theatre , acima do qual Novello viveu por muitos anos, foi renomeado para Novello Theatre, com uma placa em sua homenagem colocada na entrada. Em 27 de junho de 2009, uma estátua de Novello foi inaugurada do lado de fora do Wales Millennium Centre em Cardiff Bay . Placas detalhando algumas de suas canções mais conhecidas são colocadas no pedestal, junto com uma dedicatória a Novello. A memória de Novello é promovida pelo The Ivor Novello Appreciation Bureau , que realiza eventos anuais em toda a Grã-Bretanha, incluindo uma peregrinação anual a Redroofs todo mês de junho. Redroofs foi vendido após a morte de Novello e agora é uma escola de treinamento teatral.
Novello foi retratado no filme Gosford Park de Robert Altman de 2001 por Jeremy Northam , e várias de suas canções foram usadas na trilha sonora do filme, incluindo "Waltz of My Heart", "And Her Mother Came Too", "I Can Give You the Starlight", "What a Duke Should Be", "Why Isn't It You?" e "The Land of Might-Have-Been". Jeremy Irvine interpretou Novello no filme Benediction de Terence Davies de 2021 , sobre a vida de seu antigo amante, o poeta de guerra Siegfried Sassoon .

Quote
Of this civic Calvinism, the guardian angels are, of course, the boys in blue. Hagiography becomes copperolatry. In pre-war movies attitudes to the police are more combative. The upper-class attitude of the police as one's dimwitted servants shelters proletarian tongue-poking. Ivor Montagu's Bluebottles (1928) mocks the bobbies none too affectionately, and Walter Forde's 1943 Tommy Handley comedy It's That Man Again has its delirious moment when a ferocious army sergeant ties three or four rozzers up in knots of writhing limbs and leaves them hanging on coat hooks to squirm. If police were respected, it was with considerable ambivalence.
