SHERIDAN MORLEY - THE METHUEN BOOK OF MOVIE STORIES 1994 ED HARDBACK

A part from their fascination with the cinema, the one thing these stories share is a tough humor ......From the compulsive story-telling of Kipling, one of the earliest cinema tales ... to Martin Amis's bitingly witty, up-to- the-minute parody of the business ... the stories span the history of the movies, peering behind the sets & into dark projection rooms .... Author Sheridan Morley is the drama critic of the Spectator & the International Herald Tribune .... he is also the film critic of the Sunday Express & Playbill Sheridan Morley, the drama critic, biographer and broadcaster, who has died suddenly aged 65, was the third generation of a celebrated theatrical family. His father was Robert Morley, the famous character actor, and his grandmother was Gladys Cooper, who in her youth was one of the great beauties of her day and was, well into old age, a much sought-after actor in Britain and Hollywood.  Sheridan was also a cousin of Joanna Lumley and brother-in-law of the actor Robert Hardy.  ...
