The Moon's a Balloon

Beginning with the tragic early loss of his aristocratic father, then regaling us with tales of school, army and wartime hi-jinx, Niven shows how, even as an unknown young man, he knew how to live the good life. But it is his astonishing stories of life in hollywood and his accounts of working and partying with the legends of the silver screen - lawrence oliver, vivien leigh, cary grant, elizabeth taylor, james stewart, lauren bacall, marlene dietrich, noel coward and dozens of others, while making some of the most acclaimed films of the last century - which turn David Niven's memoir into an outright masterpiece.
