Ronald Colman: A Bio-Bibliography (Bio-Bibliographies in the Performing Arts) (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

One of the most enchanting figures of the silver screen, Ronald Colman appeared in such classic films as Beau Geste, The Prisoner of Zenda, Lost Horizon, and A Tale of Two Cities. He was nominated four times for the Academy Award, which he won for a spectacular performance in A Double Life. His voice was unrivaled, and he had a brilliant career in radio. But for all of his achievements, he has been sadly neglected. This volume expertly documents Colman's many hundreds of performances and offers fresh and insightful assessments of his works. Included are entries for all of his appearances, along with a critical annotated bibliography.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the Love of Classic Stars, October 5, 2000

By	Liz Smith "uva99" (Frankfurt, Germany) - See all my reviews

Ronald Colman was a very private individual despite being one of the biggest stars of his time. This book brings you behind the scenes and opens up the reader to the "secret" life of Ronald Colman. For any Ronald Colman fan, or classic movie fan, it is a must read.
