Biography: general

Paperback. 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. This title examines the life of this man. Num Pages: 252 pages, Illustrations, map, ports. BIC Classification: APB; APF; BGF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 199 x 134 x 21. Weight in Grams: 290.
