Leslie Phillips has, to me, always been something of a peripheral figure on the comedy scene but, this is a fascinating autobiography. Phillips did something which not many actors manage; he has moved from a comedy lecherous toff with the famous catch phrases, "Hello" and "Ding, dong" to playing in The Cherry Orchard for the RSC.
The book reads like a prolonged monologue. He basically keeps to a chronological order, but occasionally jumps.slips or repeats himself. Surprisingly, this does not, as in some biographies, irritate, it adds a certain verisimilitude. These are the reminiscences of a man who has achieved what he set out to do. He does not need to embroider his part, he tells it as it was; sometimes painting himself in a less than perfect light. Thoroughly enjoyable and most enlightening.
The proof that this is a good read may be that I am now looking for DVD's of many of the films that he mentions.
