Recenzii
Were David Niven not a famous actor, he would be thought a brilliant writer. And after this book he will surely be thought a brilliant writer
Hilariously readable
So bring on the empty horses and fill their saddles with shades of Cooper, Gable, Fairbanks and Flynn. This time David Niven is riding a winner
The best book buy available at the moment
Some very funny stories indeed, well told
He is nothing if not an individualist: a raconteur of style and sophistication and a writer with imagination and a sense of pace . . . It adds to his stature
David Niven has done it again!
BRING ON THE EMPTY HORSES is a delight from start to finish. With shrewdness and warmth . . . Niven brings us to Hollywood in its golden prime, from the early '30s to the age of TV. Above all, he brings us them - the outstanding stars, producers, directors, writers, tycoons and oddballs, many of whom were his friends . . . An inspired mix of descriptions, impressions, and anecdotes.
Might easily be the best book ever written about Hollywood.
A big name-dropping bitch of a book written with a wit as sharp as a dagger - and more than one famous personality gets it right between the shoulder blades ... Niven continues to weave the spell he cast on us with his autobiography
His charm and twinkling sense of humour are rarely completely suppressed
BRING ON THE EMPTY HORSES surpasses his first book. It is fun personified, hilarious in parts, highly entertaining and provides excellent reading
BRING ON THE EMPTY HORSES has star quality
A really glamorous autobiography
David Niven gives a marvellously readable account of his contacts with Hollywood
Niven still tells a good tale
One of the most illuminating books yet to come out about Hollywood
