Reviews

"An engaging, well-written memoir . . . full of theater stories about playing Mitch opposite Vivien Leigh's Blanche in the London production of A Streetcar Named Desire, playing Baron von Trapp opposite Mary Martin's Maria in The Sound of Music, and of course his many performances as Tevye [in Fiddler on the Roof]."--Oakland Tribune

"Bikel has been an articulate spokesman against oppression, dictatorship, inhumanity, war."--Boston Globe

"Bountiful and rewarding: an intimate memoir by an actor who is passionate on the subject of acting, a generous and endearing storyteller, and an eye-witness to history."--Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times
