Default James Robertson Justice biography
Has anyone out there read the recently published bio of JRJ - if so is it a biogrovel or a worthwhile book ?

Scrub that question - the book has been delayed till January

I remember; apart from him being a fine actor, and great to work with; he kept a falcon in his dressing room!

Was he as loud and authoritative in real life as he always seemed to be portrayed in films?

I greatly enjoyed JRGs rare starring role in FOXHOLE IN CAIRO (available as a R2 DVD to buy/rent...)

The DVD has long since been deleted I'm afraid.

There are still some copies available via Amazon's Marketplace (at vastly inflated prices though).

What book?



Does it mention him 'holding the hand' of Patrick McGoohan when they both went to Cannes in 1957 and met Jean Cocteau?

Sounds an interesting read!.........I have read that he was friendly with members of Britains Royal family, when it was deemed suitable for Prince Charles to have his first 'experience', actress Amanda Barrie was asked if she would oblige by James......but I don't think anything became of it!

The book has been delayed in publication so Phil Windsor could do his introduction. Guess it will help the sales figures and also shows what a remarkable figure JRJ was in getting someone like that to do the intro.
