Alastair sim (75 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Mark Simpson's biography of Alastair Sim is supported by extensive research including an interview with the playwright Christopher Fry, information from people who worked onthe film sets with Alastair, material from the Theatre museum archives and original reviews from theatre magazines, newspapers and various other publications.It examines Alastair's roles in the Quota Quickie films of the 1930s/40s before he became established as the most idiosyncratic star of screen in such famous British comedies as The Happiest Days of Your Life and The Belles of St Trinians. It goes on to explain why his popularity suddenly waned as the cinemagoers taste for the risque evolved during the latter part of the 1950s. Alastair Sim also explores Alastair's life outside of films including his marriage to Naomi Sim, whom he first met when she was 12, his extensive work on stage, including his theatrical endeavours with James Bridie, his champion of the 'youth' and his stalwart refusal to sign autographs. It is the only biography of Alastair Sim, and includes a bibliography and film section. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Alastair Sim was an enigmatic character both on and off the screen. His idiosyncratic style of acting in films such as The Belles of St Trinian's endeared him to a cinema-going audience desperate to escape the day-to-day dreariness of an invasive, bureaucratic post-war Britain. In private, he was a curiously contradictory character, prejudiced and yet tolerant, thoughtful but sometimes inconsiderate. To examine the life of this extraordinary man, this biography contains original contributions from around thirty actors and actresses, including Sir Ian McKellen and Ronnie Corbett.It is supported by extensive research, including interviews with the playwright Christopher Fry, the television producer John Howard Davies and actors who appeared on stage with Alastair as far back as the 1940s. This book also explores Alastair's life outside of films, including his marriage to Naomi Sim (whom he first met when she was twelve), his career as an elocution teacher, his extensive work on stage (including his theatrical endeavours with James Bridie), his championship of youth and his stalwart refusal to sign autographs.Alastair Sim offers a rare and fascinating insight into the life of one of Britain's most respected and best-loved actors.…

Condizione: As New. : Alastair Sim fue un personaje enigmático tanto dentro como fuera de la pantalla. Su estilo de actuación idiosincrásico en películas como 'The Belles of St Trinian's' lo hizo entrañable para una audiencia cinematográfica que buscaba escapar de la monotonía de la Gran Bretaña de posguerra. En su vida privada, era una figura curiosamente contradictoria, a la vez prejuiciosa y tolerante, reflexiva pero a veces desconsiderada.Para examinar la vida de este hombre extraordinario, esta biografía incluye contribuciones originales de cerca de 30 actores y actrices, entre ellos Sir Ian McKellen y Ronnie Corbett. El libro ofrece una visión fascinante y poco común de la vida de uno de los actores más respetados y queridos de Gran Bretaña, explorando también su carrera como profesor de elocución y su extensa trayectoria teatral.
