"My favourite of Dirk's autobiographies. It tells of his hey day with rank and his relationships with famous actors and actresses of the fifties and sixties. These were the days of old movie star glamour and real stars. Another great read, I didn't want it to end and have read it again several times." — Lauren (5 out of 5 stars)

" A reread of this, the second in Dirk Bogarde's autobiographical sequence. An excellent series of autobiography, written by one of the better actors of the 20th century. Interesting indeed and recommended. "
