Review Quotes
British-American film critic David Thomson, who considers Grant 'the most important actor in the ceinma, ' calls this the best book about him so far.-- "Desert Sun (Knight Ridder Newspapers)"
More than a dozen previous books about the actor are available, but McCann's well-researched addition is particularly valuable for its careful investigation of old canards.-- "Publishers Weekly"
