While I Live

While I Live is a 1947 British drama film directed and co-written by John Harlow and starring Sonia Dresdel, Tom Walls and Carol Raye. While I Live is best remembered for its musical theme "The Dream of Olwen" composed by Charles Williams, reprised at intervals throughout the film, which became hugely popular in its time and is still regularly performed. The film itself became widely known as The Dream of Olwen. The film was based on a play by Robert Bell; referred to in the opening credits as This Same Garden, it was actually first produced under the title Olwen in March 1947, with Hilda Bayley as Julia.
