All My Flashbacks:
The Autobiography of Lewis Gilbert
Reach for the Sky, Carve Her Name With Pride, Sink
the Bismarck!, Alfie, You
Only Live Twice, The
Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, Educating
Rita, Shirley Valentine ... a remarkably varied collection
of subjects and just
some of the films directed by Lewis Gilbert during
the course of seven decades in the industry.
In All My Flashbacks Lewis Gilbert recalls
his tragic childhood as a music hall entertainer, his traumatic
wartime service in the RAF and ultimately one of
the
most distinguished careers in British cinema. Along
the way he describes working with such diverse personalities
as Laurence Olivier, Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Caine,
Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Liza Minnelli.
From modest post-war comedies to the
most lavish James Bond epics ever made, Gilbert shares
the secrets
behind
some legendary movies and reveals the sometimes
uncomfortable truth about the stars he worked with.
All My Flashbacks is the inside story
of some of our best-loved films, but above all it is a
warm,
incisive
and deeply moving account of an extraordinary
life. |
