My next primary resource is 'Norman Wisdom: Live on Stage'. I have chosen to look at this because I want to research into all aspects of his career. Although this was made later on in his career, it still helps me to find out more about him as a comedian and a musician rather than just a film star.
In this part of the DVD, Norman is acting along side another man. His role is very similar to the character that Jerry Desmond would often play in Norman's films. It is the role of a man in higher authority or a higher class that contrasts with Norman's lower class character. This shows me that this a trait that he uses on the stage as well as in film. 
Throughout the DVD, Norman performs many songs. Some are his best loved songs while others are his own compositions. He also plays various instruments such as the piano, drums, trumpet and saxophone. I think these are important scenes for me to look into because Norman was a very successful singer, songwriter and musician as well as an actor.
The product description says that "Live on Stage captures the essence of the king of the clowns - a mixture of pathos and side-splitting comedy." Overall, I think this resource is useful to me because it helps me to reasearch into a different aspect of Norman's Career.
