The Greatest Director in the World

This song comes from the stage play, They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1973). It concerns the story of the narrator, Robert Syverton, who longs to become a film director. Leon's song owes some debt to his earlier "Samuel S Spider", written for Inter-Action a year or two earlier, which contains similar themes about "the greatest director" in the street musical Epic!. No audio recording of the song is known.
