Summary: What a Poisionality!
Review: "All About Eve", "The Ghost & Mrs. Muir", "The Black Swan", "The Portrait of Dorian Gray", "Rebecca" ... every time I saw these movies I would revel in George Sanders' performances. I had a hunch that there was much more to the man than met the eye. The introduction and filmography tells you everything you need to know about this talented, tortured man. The priceless segment was his autobiography; hearing his intelligent, sarcastic voice once again making hilarious observations about the world around him. However, one note about the dust cover art: with all the respect given him in the book I thought decorating the book with a martini glass and strewn pills in bad taste.

Summary: Entertaining, witty, biography fans will LOVE it!
Review: In 1979 I read 'A Dreadful Man' by Brian Aherne, and fell in love with that book. I searched 17 years to find this book, out-of-print because it was written in the 60's. This summer AMAZON Books sent me what is now my #1 favorite auto-biography. Mr. Sanders should have been an author of more than just this one book. Don't waste your time reading biographies written about him, Of course that doesn't include "A Dreadful Man". He is much more interesting than anything that could be said about him. I am adding this book to my list of books that I won't loan out. Every bookseller that I met who had read this book, said they can't keep it in stock. Don't lose this opportunity to get it through the only place on earth that has it available. Buy it now! I plan to re-read annually and just fantasize about what it would be like to be able to write one sentence like him.
