Content: "In his account of this difficult, ugly, magnetic genius - the fullest biography of Laughton yet to appear - Simon Callow is able to recreate each of Laughton's performances, however eccentric, however mundane, by looking at them through the eyes of a fellow actor, one wh knows that, for an actor, acting is both creation and survival. Callow's empathy with Laughton embraces his professional struggles and his lifelong battle to come to terms both with [sic] his homosexuality and his 30-year marriage to Elsa Lanchester. A born raconteur, Callow writes with wit and passion while packing the book with the fascinating fruits of his research - interviews with surviving colleagues and lovers, accounts culled from contemporaneous books, articles and reviews, and illuminating assessments of Laughton's craft resulting from a viewing of every extant foot of film. Callow gets right inside the skin of Laughton and show us what makes him tick, this legend in his own lifetime who nonetheless counted himself a failure."

"Charles and Elsa crossed the Atlantic on the SS Olympic. For fun, they took with them a pornographic novel. As they neared the New York harbour, their nerve failed them, and they attempted to throw the book overboard, page by page. The wind was blowing in the opposite direction, however, and the boat sailed majestically into the harbour with pages of Cherry Blossoms in Beachtime clinging to its side." Secondhand booksellers |
