The Comedy Man is probably the best of Hayes s books, it was made into a film with Kenneth More in 1963. The book is about the lives and misadventures of actors who seem to spend most of their time "resting" between engagements which are often only too brief and usually poorly paid. Hayes wasn t writing about successful actors, though he sometimes brings in characters who had known their five minutes of fame and then faded from sight due to a variety of problems, ranging from drink to a failure to make the right decisions regarding career moves. They re now reduced to queuing with the rest in an effort to persuade a shady agent to find them a couple of days work as a film extra, or a walk-on part in a second-rate play in a third-rate theater. The dust-jacket has a small chip and a small piece of protective tape at the very top of the spine, now in Mylar. Internally very clean, first printing. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 275419
