Description
Book SynopsisYoung Man in Movieland is the autobiography of Jan Read, a young man from a quiet Scottish town, who seemed destined to follow in his father's footsteps. Instead of pursuing a career in chemistry, however, Read's passion for the cinema and a bit of luck led him in a completely different direction.
Trade ReviewWritten in an easygoing style, the book contains a good smattering of anecdotes about Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, Fritz Lang and other notables…makes for light but pleasant reading. * Film Review *
