SynopsisIn classic Hollywood tradition, Farley Granger, a high school senior, was discovered by Sam Goldwyn's casting director in an off-Hollywood Boulevard play. Granger describes how he learned his craft as he went on to star in a number of films, giving an insider's view of working with Hitchcock on "Strangers on a Train" and "Rope," Luchino Visconti on "Senso," and Nick Ray on "They Live by Night."He is eloquent about his bisexuality and tells of affairs with Patricia Neal, Arthur Laurents, Shelley Winters, Leonard Bernstein and Ava Gardner and his involvement with Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, and Tyrone Power.Granger recreates his legendary struggle to break his contract with Goldwyn. He had to buy his way out to work on Broadway. He describes the early days of live television and working with Julie Harris, Christopher Plummer, Helen Hayes, and Claire Bloom. He captures the thrill of acting on the stage with Janice Rule, June Havoc, Larry Hagman, Barbara Cook, and the National Repertory Theatre, where his determination paid off with an OBIE for his work in "Tally & Son."Granger's delightful and elegant memoir captures the extravangance of Hollywood's Golden Age-and provides colorful portraits of many of its major players.

Don't Bother
This is so disappointing. I was hoping to get some insight into the world of cinema and stage, but all Granger gives us is a textual version of his appointment diaries. He tells us with whom he worked, with whom he slept, with whom he partied, but he never gets to anything behind the running list of appointments and trips and new apartments and having enough money to travel the world. I was hoping for some insight. I got dry, unentertaining fluff that never delivered the behind-the-scenes secrets promised. C- to D on writing abilities. B on whose names are mentioned. B- to C on giving us anything to chew over.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
