Ok, Dirk Bogarde was in doctor in the house with Joan Simms, She was in Martin Chuzzlewit with Emma Chambers who was in Notting Hill with JRT.

I also have a vague memory that martin's nick name was vaguely to do with Chuzzlewit but i thought that link was a bit tenuous!

I'm back!.....
If you mean Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart(or 'Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgang Theophilus Mozart' as Wikipedia would have it... he added Amadeus himself) please refer to my entry on page7 re Beethoven. Just sustitute for the first line 'Mozart was a friend of Haydn'.
