Synopsis

Described by Sir Paul McCartney as "the man who makes clouds disappear," Victor Spinetti became known to the 1960s generation through his comedic roles in the landmark Beatles films and the classic Return of the Pink Panther, starring Peter Sellers. His remarkable wit and versatility have earned him fresh popularity with every generation since. A veteran stage actor, writer, and director, Spinetti gives us an irresistible account of his own life, from his Welsh-Italian upbringing to his role as one of the few trusted friends of the Beatles through to his recent portrayal of Einstein on stage in London. Spinetti’s charismatic personality and his fabulous ability to entertain combine to make this a book of exquisite charm, joy, and irreverence.
