About this book

"Legendary cinematographer Jack Cardiff has retired to the sleepy village of Denham, Buckinghamshire. The glory days of working on some of the most famous sets in the world are now behind him, as are his secret liaisons with a number of equally famous women. Despite the abundance of memorabilia from a lifetime of achievement, writing an autobiography proves an impossible task--perhaps due to his insistence on living in the past rather than remembering it. Terry Johnson's witty and poignant play examines the extraordinary life of the cinematic master and two-time Oscar-winner"--Page [4] of cover.
