Since moving to New York City over a decade ago, Quentin Crisp
has brought his love of the cinema and his notorious wit together
in a series of essays on films and film stars. A veteran film-goer
of seventy years who has kept a vigilant eye on changing Hollywood
styles and the public tastes that follow, Mr. Crisp discusses both
films and stars with his typical panache and dexterity and leads
his readers with polite madness to a clear, straightforward moral,
proving himself to be an unexpected champion of good sense. Along
the way Mr. Crisp shares his personal encounters with the likes of
Lillian Gish, John Hurt, David Hockney, Divine, Sting, and
Geraldine Page. Prefaced by longer essays on the essence of
stardom, the nature of Hollywood, and the deplorable state of that
town today, Mr. Crisp's book is a delight to read.
