Product Description

In an unprecedented career, Ronald Colman starred in high adventure, light comedy, delicate romance and intense drama. His acting was tempered by a lighthearted nature, an introspective sadness of the eyes, and the indefinable fragility of an exquisitely modulated voice. This critical evaluation of Colman's life and career is accompanied by scores of never before published photos. Complete cast and credits are given. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gentleman Film Star, September 28, 2000
By Mae McCloud (Provo, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This biography is a beautiful and sensitive portrayal of a gentleman actor who's dazzling career spanned four decades, and included such films as: RANDOM HARVEST, A TALE OF TWO CITIES and LOST HORIZON. It is evident that the author spent much time, care and love on this book in presenting the reader with all the facts of Ronald Colman's life and his films. Not only is there grand information, but the book is also full of wonderful photographs of the actor. A Wonderful biography.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive biography/filmography, May 5, 2002
If you are a Ronald Colman fan, this is the book for you!

Smith has one of the largest collections of Colman stills in the world, and this is the basis of his exhaustive filmography, covering lost silents, deleted scenes from Colman's films, and all of the favorites ("Lost Horizon," "Random Harvest," and many others).

Smith does not neglect the biographical aspects, and Colman's life is covered as well, in a well-written prose style that is easy to read, as well as informative.

Colman was a true gentleman of the cinema, as well as in his private life, and I can think of no better book to recommend than this one. Smith has done his job well, and I think every classic film fan, along with Colman's fans, will enjoy and learn much from this book.
