Merely Melville: Alan Melville

Raconteur, playwright, producer, wit...Alan Melville (1910 - 1983) had an abundance of talents that brought him into contact with the greats of the entertainment world of his day - luminaries such as Ivor Novello, Hermione Gingold, Beatrice Lillie and Jack Buchanan, to name only a few. This autobiography is not only about his successes but his many flops which he described as 'frequent and sensational'. This is not just another collection of theatrical reminiscences, but touches Melville's life away from the stage and TV.
