Published : 1988

Author : Quentin Crisp

A veteran film-goer of seventy years who has kept a vigilant eye on changing Hollywood styles and the public tastes that follow, Mr Crisp discusses both films and stars with his typical panache and dexterity and leads his readers with polite madness to a clear, straighforward moral, proving himself to be an unexpected champion of good sense.
"The message that 'love' will solve all of our problems is repeated incessantly in contemporary culture - like a philosophical tom tom. It would be closer to the truth to say that love is a contagious and virulent disease which leaves a victim in a state of near imbecility, paralysis, profound melancholia and sometimes culminates in death." - Quentin Crisp
