This book about Kirk Douglas' film making effort is both informative and entertaining. The narrative is a fine balance between Hollywood history and Mr. Douglas' personal recollections, the tone is personal but not conceited or arrogant. Kirk Douglas, who is going to celebrate a 100th birthday this coming December, is as impressive a storyteller, as he was an actor and a producer. His book is a lovely commentary of some of the most glorious times in Hollywood and some of the most difficult times for American democracy at the same time. Film enthusiasts will find this book impossible to put down.
