Hello,
Sergei. Thank you for the remarks ("you may notice that Noel
Coward collaborated a lot with Peter Ustinov who was Russian, so he could easily
learn russian accent. In the Memoirs by Ustinov there were some not very
respectful and very imprecise remarks concerning Nabokov (for example, he
remarked that the uncle - and not the father - of VN was killed)." So
there's a real link bt. Nabokov and Coward after all, even if indirectly,
through Ustinov's memoirs (NC and VN also share the same birth-year,
1899). Jansy
