Noel Coward was good at everything he turned his hand to ... was the gap in his memoirs because he spent some time, unknown to others, solving murder mysteries and working as a spy? It's highly probable.
Starring Malcolm Sinclair as Noel Coward, Eleanor Bron as his devoted London representative Lorn Lorraine and Tam Williams as his devoted secretary Cole Lesley.
