South Sea Bubble is a 1956 television adaptation of the play of the same name by Noel Coward. It used the same cast as the stage version of the play then running in London. The play was performed before an invited audience at the Lyric.[1] It was introduced by John Ellison. To date, it is the only filmed version of this play.[2]
Vivien Leigh originally played the lead on stage for the London run but departed because she was pregnant and was replaced by Elizabeth Sellars. Sellars appears in the television version.[3] In his diaries, Coward called Sellars "I know to be an excellent young actress, but whether or not she is an experienced enough comedienne to carry that arduous part remains to be seen."[4]
The television version started at the beginning of the second act.[5]
