Críticas:

"Provides some fascinating insights into Brynner's difficult and rebarbative personality. Attention is also given to some of the actors ventures into the crime or thriller genre such as The Double Man and The Saboteur, but it's Brynner's contribution to the epic which is central to his appeal - and is rightly celebrated here." - DVD Choices, July 2016

Reseña del editor:

Known as the bald cowboy in ""The Magnificent Seven"" and the sexy, charismatic male lead in ""The King and I"", Yul Brynner was a Hollywood paragon of masculinity. Beyond his distinctive appearance and distinguished acting career was a life of intrigue and concocted tales surrounding his youth. Born Youl Bryner in Russia, he played gypsy guitar and worked as a trapeze clown until a severe injury motivated him to pursue his interest in theatre. This biography takes readers through Brynner's formative years in Russia, France and China and describes his journey from sweeping stages in Parisian theatres to a versatile career in theatre, television and film, reaching a stardom that began and ended with the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical ""The King and I"". With accounts of his personal and professional successes and failures, the book includes his four marriages, his numerous and notorious affairs with such stars as Judy Garland, Joan Crawford and Ingrid Bergman, and his 1985 death from lung cancer. A filmography details his movies and plays, and appendices outline his work in documentaries, music and soundtracks, radio programs and television.
