"A
theater
biography
of
the
first
rank,
written
with
elegance,
wit,
and
psychological
probity."

He
worked
with
Oe
noir,
Mille,
Korda,
Hitchcock,
Re-
Guthrie,
Lean,
and
Wilder.
He
collaborated
first
with
Brecht
and
Losey
on
the
Galileo.
His
production
of
career
spanned
fifty
films
and
forty
VIII,
stage
roles.
And
his
Hunchback,
Henry
and
Captain
Bligh
remain
the
stock-in-trade
of
count-
less
mimics.
No
previous
account
of
of
the
difficult,
ugly,
magnetic
genius
ChaHes
Laughton
has ap-
proached
the
depth
and
quality
of
Simon
Cal-
low's
actor's
magnificent
early
biography,
in
which
spans
the
parents'
years
England
at
his
seaside
hotel,
through
the
West
End,
Hollywood,
and
Broadway,
to
his
final
climactic
assumption
of
the
role
of
Lear
at
Stratford.
As
a
fellow
actor.
Callow
is
able
to
recreate
each
of
Laughton's
performances,
however
eccen-
tric
or
mundane,
with
complete
understanding.
Callow's
empathy
with
Laughton
embraces
both
and
his
lifelong
battle
his
professional
struggles
to
come
to
terms
with
his
homosexuality
and
his
thirty-year
marriage
to
Elsa
Lanchester.
Writing
with
wit
and
passion.
Callow
packs
the
book
with
the
fascinating
fruits
of
his
research-conversa-
tions
with
surviving
friends
and
lovers,
contem-
porary
articles
and
reviews,
and
illuminating
craft
assessments
of
Laughton's
based
on
the
study
of
every
extant
foot
of
film.
Callow
gets
right
inside
the
skin
of
Laughton
and shows
us
in
his
the
truth
behind
this
legend
own
lifetime
who
nonetheless
counted
himself
a
failure.
