About this product
Product Information
Benny Hills saucy smirks and lascivious glances are relished across all continents and creeds. Yet he cut an unlikely figure of adoration: uninterested in money and with scant material needs, he was a deeply private individual, a loner, overweight, unmarried and emotionally enfeebled in his few relationships despite a compulsion to be seen in the close company of scantily-clad women.Acclaimed as the first British TV comedy superstar, a national treasure in the 1950s, his career burgeoned internationally in the 1980s just as he was becoming increasingly reviled in his home country. His mode of comedy was branded sexist, a charge he did not foresee, could not comprehend and was unable to alter. Though he was rich beyond his wildest dreams, and certainly well in excess of his meagre needs, the fall from grace led to the end of his long-running TV show and a terminal decline in his health.This is the first objective and full account of Benny Hills life and work. Tenaciously researched yet sensitively reported, it charts the unlikely rise, sad demise and many paradoxes of a decent man whose strengthsobservation, impression and mime, fashioned by the stars of the silent screen, music hall and Varietybrought him unimagined and unparalleled success.
