'An often magnificent feat of story-telling and panoramic reconstruction ... John James Todd's reminiscences carry us through the ups and downs of a long and lively career that begins in genteel Edinburgh, devastatingly detours out to the Western Front, forks off, after a period of cosy family life in London, to the electric excitements of the Berlin film-world of the Twenties, then moves on to Hollywood ... to ordeal by McCarthyism and eventual escape to Europe' Peter Kemp, Observer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087435653271,"sku":"9780141046914","price":560.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780141046914.webp?v=1767640441","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-new-confessions-9780141046914","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
