Urbane charm is the theme of this autobiography of this British playwright and screenwriter. While he may be mostly forgotten, nearly all of the boldfaced names he writes about here are not. Moreover, his stories are fresh and rarely repeated in other publications. One example. On meeting a young Tallulah Bankhead in her dressing room following a performance, he pans her play, but praises her appearance in the dressing room, as she, of course, was entirely naked.
