One of the most enchanting figures of the silver screen, Ronald
Colman appeared in such classic films as Beau Geste, The Prisoner
of Zenda, Lost Horizon, and A Tale of Two Cities. He was nominated
four times for the Academy Award, which he won for a spectacular
performance in A Double Life. His voice was unrivaled, and he had a
brilliant career as a radio star. A charismatically photogenic
performer, he was voted the handsomest actor in Hollywood on
several occasions. His superior skills, his dashing visage, and his
resonant speech made him one of the most sought after and acclaimed
stars of his day. In spite of his enormous talent and supreme
achievements, Ronald Colman has strangely been overlooked. This
immensely detailed reference book brings Colman's life and career
into sharp focus, corrects misleading information about him, and
comments on the critical response to his work. The heart of this
expertly researched volume is a series of chapters with entries for
Colman's many hundreds of performances in film, radio, and
television. Entries provide full production information, plot
synopses, excerpts from reviews, and valuable commentary. An
extensive annotated bibliography summarizes and assesses material
written about Colman, and the author scrupulously debunks the many
myths that have been written about Colman in previous publications.
