by Wingate
Some really interesting interviews.I was more interested in those from B movies such as Vernon Sewell and Dermot Walsh.Unfortunately. they seem to be cut off in full flow whereas bigger stars such as Alan Bates waffle on for ages.I didn’t bother with articles on actors he hadn’t interviewed.That seemed a bit pointless.
by Iris Croft
A fascinating book to dip into and a must for fans of Talking Pictures TV where the stars featured may still be enjoyed. Like the other reviewer I would have liked more from one of my favourites, Dermot Walsh. Looking up his films led me to this book in the first place.
