Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

". . . Caine has known, befriended, worked or partied with everyone from John Huston to Heath Ledger, and has the kind of life where a Rolling Stone waits patiently while he gives James Bond advice on how to become a knight. As such, this breezy, name-droppy salute to old, un-PC Hollywood is a lighthearted hoot." --New York Post

"Caine has three things you want in a memoirist--an eye for detail, a knack for storytelling and a sense of humor about himself--and they all come out to play in 'The Elephant to Hollywood.'" --New York Times Book Review

"Caine's broad accent carries the imprint of the rough Elephant and Castle (London) streets of his youth, and his rapid delivery moves the text along smartly. His unaffected style conveys the charm and authenticity of a likeable man who also happens to be a Hollywood legend...Listening to Michael Caine tell his own story more than compensates for missing the photos included in the print edition." --AudioFile Magazine

"Knighted actor Caine's charm and immense likeability are in abundance in his second memoir...In addition to Caine's fans and those liking movie star memoirs, this title will appeal to anyone interested in mid 20th-century English social and cultural life." --Library Journal

"This entertaining memoir, narrated by Caine himself, delves through his long career to relive highlights and insider sidelights, the kind of things that don't make Entertainment Tonight because there isn't time." --Tower Review

Reseña del editor:

A two-time Academy Award-winning actor chronicles his life and five-decade career--from his humble upbringing in London, his military service, marriage and family life and lively adventures with friends to legendary meetings with fellow stars, forays as a restaurateur and hilarious off-screen encounters. Reprint.
