"When it was released in 1994 Four Weddings and a Funeral quickly became a huge international success, pulling in the kind of audiences most British films only dream of. It's proof that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best: in terms of plot, the title pretty much says it all. Revolving around, well, four weddings and a funeral (though not in that order), the film follows Hugh Grant's confirmed bachelor Charles as he falls for visiti ..."

"Now in paperback, Callow's vastly entertaining chronicle of Welles's first 26 years seems even finer than it did in 1995.

Welles's innovative theatrical work in the 1930s has never been better described or analysed. Even such oft-tol ..."
