Reviews

"A frank portrait of a conflicted man and a respected star of Golden Age Hollywood. . . . Peter succeeds in objectively revisiting his father's life and work while peeling back without fear the painful layers in their mutual history. . . . This biography should rank with Maria Riva's Marlene Dietrich as one of the best examples of a family biography and should appeal to film scholars and film fans alike."--Library Journal

"Glenn Ford never got the respect he deserved for being a tough, straight-ahead actor who always had a way of rising to the occasion demanded by Fritz Lang or Vincente Minnelli. His son's biography is a welcome tribute to a conflicted man and an often overlooked star."--Scott Eyman, author of Pieces of My Heart

"Glenn Ford was a perfect gentleman, educated and kind. When called upon to perform, he was a hell of an actor."--Mickey Rooney
