Synopsis
This is the memoir of film director Andre de Toth. The book opens amidst the enchanted cafe society of pre-war Budapest - a world shattered forever by the Nazi onslaught which propelled de Toth on his odessey, first to England and then Hollywood. It is a unique chronicle of a life lived among many of the most turbulent events of the 20th century. Born in 1900, de Toth's life spans the history of movies. Best known for his film noirs in the 40s and 50s, he is also the director of the cult classic 3-D movie "House of Wax". He also worked in production capacities on Alexander Korda's "Jungle Book" and Ken Russell's first film, "Billion Dollar Brain". His last film, "Play Dirty", is one of Martin Scorsese's favorite films.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
