More about the book
From his birth in a taxi to his status as a best-selling author, here is the story of Dirk Bogarde, one of the best-loved and greatest film stars Britain has ever produced. Sheridan Morley's engaging biography—handsomely illustrated with 150 photographs—looks at the early years; his distinguished career in films like Death in Venice, The Night Porter, and A Bridge Too Far ; and the acclaim that came to Bogarde later in life as an accomplished novelist and memoirist. Sheridan Morley, who knew Bogarde for more than two decades, draws on their many years of conversations and interviews. The result is an absorbing portrait of a private, supremely talented man "who did, perhaps, always remain something of an outsider."
