Stark Naked: The Autobiography Of Graham Stark (Sanctuary Publishing, £16.99)
THIS is the life history of the great all-rounder of British comedy.
Chronicling his early days in Liverpool, his wartime exploits and a lifetime spent in the service of entertainment, it is a story of a star of screens both great and small.
The names leap from the pages.
The cast list includes legends such as Yul Brynner, Jack Palance, Kim Basinger, Sean Connery, Ringo Starr and Stanley Kubrick... and, as you might expect, the anecdotes flow like a good wine.
There are stories of a snooker match between Kubrick and Tony Curtis... Julie Andrews taking on the Moroccan Army (and winning)... David Niven caught halfway up a tree with Lana Turner... and how a handbag changed the careers of Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise.
Stark Naked is the memoir of one of Britain's finest comic actors.
Great stuff. John Phillpott
