5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
This paperback was in much better condition than advertised. I will definitely be buying from Mrs. Wiggins at every opportunity!

3-0 out of 5 stars For Diehard Fans Only
This is not the behind-the-scenes tell-all one would expect from a Hollywood star.Instead it's a tame memoir that covers most of Russell's famous movies in just a couple sentences each.It certainly is told in her blunt "voice," but she reveals little about who she is, the people she worked with or the roles she made famous.

Diehard fans will love it simply because she wrote it. Published after she died, the book comes across as too reverential.She doesn't talk about any wild love affairs or even many on-set adventures.It's just kind of a boring life story. (Her husband's preface is actually more informative than the entire rest of the book!)

There are a few things she likes to talk about, in particular her friendship with Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant.The only chapter written with much enthusiasm is about her 25th wedding anniversary party given by Sinatra in Vegas.But she then talks about how much she and her husband are apart--and how they allow a man who has been in love with her for decades to move into their house while the husband is gone.Few other personal details other than saying she and her husband fought a lot.

She also takes a lot of credit for Auntie Mame. It's hard to say if she's being honest about how much input she had into all aspects of the original stage production, but she acts as if she almost single-handedly made a variety of decisions that turned it into a hit.

Her lack of movie-making stories is truly disappointing.She should have some really interesting stories of working with famous directors and stars--but she barely even mentions some of her works.My favorite is The Trouble With Angels, which she dismisses as "the nun movie" and only devotes a couple sentences to it even though she devoted two years of her life to the film and its sequel!The same with Gypsy, His Girl Friday and others--she gives glib, terse observations and then moves on.She either doesn't recall stories or is hiding something. Either way, this book falls far short of her definitive life story.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Real Page-Turner
"Life is a Banquet" is the most solid proof that you don't need to be Groucho Marx or George Burns to write a witty memoir. All you need here is some time and a nice, comfy couch (or bed, if you wish) to spend a few hours in, because Rosalind Russell, with her uninhibited and candid voice, will make the book in your hand feel like a thriller.

Remarkably, Russell avoids the pitfall so many autobiographies take. One serious defect that can be easily detected in movie star autobiographies is the tedious descriptions of a film or any other professional endeavor, which often takes the enjoyment out of what is otherwise a highly intriguing read. Somehow the engaging "Roz" (short for Rosalind) escapes such a mold -- as you read about her experience on a film set, you will find that she manages to illustrate a vivid and humorous memory that literally makes you laugh out loud. You can be assured that whether she writes of a Hollywood party with famous colleagues like Cary Grant and Claudette Colbert or of a working day on set with director George Cukor, the words on the pages always describe only the most interesting aspects of the experience. One would expect nothing less of the lady who, after all, excelled in comedic roles and entertained brilliantly on stage and on TV.

The contents do indeed cover the entire span of her life, starting from childhood to whenever it was when she stopped working on the book. The foreward by her husband Freddie Brisson fills you in on the last portion of her life -- facts about her illness and how she dealt with it -- because Roz never really believed in complaining or going on about such things. Indeed, she comes across the pages as a genuine human being who preferred to look to the blessings in life, always grateful for the good things that came her way.

To anyone who still feels the need to ask, "should I read it?" I say, "absolutely, you idiot!" Just make sure you have a nice bed, a warm cup of coffee and plenty of time at your side.

4-0 out of 5 stars A must for fans of Rosalind Russell
Rosalind Russell's autobiography is full of stories about her movies and Broadway career and her friendships with Hollywood stars like Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra.She discusses in detail her breakthrough movie, The Women and all of her early MGM films.My favorite Russell movies came later in her career and sadly, she devotes only a few quick sentences to Picnic (never mentioning Kim Novak), Auntie Mame (nothing about her costars), and Gypsy (not a word about Natalie Wood).

Much of the book is a testament to her long marriage to producer Freddie Brisson, who writes a very loving and revealing preface.She was strong and dynamic, a talented and dedicated actress, but her family always came first in her heart.Although she was quite ill at the end, she barely mentions her problems and indeed, spends no time in self-pity.(She was still editing the book at the time of her death.)

It was disappointing that she glossed over her later movies, but her strength of character and humor shine through on every page and the book is quite inspiring.Many personal and professional photos are included.

5-0 out of 5 stars I love this book!
I could (and have) read this book over and over. Rosalind Russell takes you through her life as a child in Conneticut, her career with MGM, and her marriage to Freddie Brisson. I found each story engrossing, none of it was disinteresting. She tells the story of her life as if she was speaking to you personally. This book is a must read for any Rosalind Russell fan. ...

Product Description

During World War II, 22,000 Australian military personnel became prisoners of war under the Japanese military. Over three and a half years, 8,000 died in captivity, in desperate conditions of forced labor, disease, and starvation. Many of those who returned home after the war attributed their survival to the 106 Australian medical officers imprisoned alongside them. These doctors varied in age, background, and experience, but they were united in their unfailing dedication to keeping as many of the men alive as possible. This is the story of those 106 doctors—their compassion, bravery, and ingenuity—and their efforts in bringing back the 14,000 survivors.
