Why read it?
1 author picked Up in the Clouds, Gentlemen Please as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Mills was the last of the generation of great British actors from the 1940s who personified the stiff-upper-lip gent.
In this autobiography, he tells the story of his part in, In Which We Serve, Ice Cold in Alex, Scott of the Antarctic, and his Oscar-winning performance in Ryan's Daughter. He was a true icon of British cinema. Great stuff.
From Nathan's list on memoirs and biographies from Hollywood’s Golden Age.
