Guinness

This superbly illustrated survey, published to celebrate Sir Alec Guinness's 75th birthday, is a full pictorial record of his career on stage and screen from the 1930s to the present day. Robert Tanitch, author of the highly acclaimed Gielgud , has undertaken all the photographic research and many of the photographs are appearing in book form for the first time. He provides a running commentary for each production plus quotes from the critics of the day. Guinness is both a record of an actor's distinguished career, and a tribute to the man himself.
