Reseña del libro "man on the flying trapeze,the life and times of w. c. fields (en Inglés)"
Man on the Flying Trapeze is the first biography in decades -- and the only accurate one -- of the beloved cinematic curmudgeon and inimitable comic genius W. C. Fields. Simon Louvish brilliantly sifts through evidence of Fields's own self-creation to illuminate the vaudeville world from which Fields sprang and his struggles with studios and censors to make his hilarious films-in the process confirming suspicions (yes, he did drink) and confounding them (he doted on his grandchildren). One of the best movie biographies to come along in quite some time. . . . [A] book to cherish.--Film Review [Man on the Flying Trapeze] nicely regales us with many vaudevillian stories. . . . Louvish does a heroic job.--Katharine Whittemore, New York Times Book Review A rapturous, giddy, and irrepressible book. . . . Let us be clear: this is a delight, a marvel of research . . . and a superb argument for the case that William Claude Dukenfield was, and is, the greatest comic the movies have given us.--David Thomson At last 'the Great Man' (as Fields called himself, accurately) has a great biography.--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
