Up in the Clouds, Gentlemen Please

From the early beginnings hard at music hall song-and-dance-routines to the days of Cavalcade and Jill, Darling, to the film epics – In Which We Serve, Ice Cold in Alex, Scott of the Antarctic, to the prized Oscar for Ryan’s Daughter, this is a heartwarming story of fame and fortune, of true love, lasting friendships and of a happy and united acting family.

Drama, farce and tragedy – not to mention some spectacular falls – have all had their part in a life that is as varied as it is successful. Marvellously honest, affectionate, funny and wise, Up in the Clouds, Gentlemen Please is a stupendous read.
