He also felt, like countless others, a feeling of utter hopelessness at the war's end, when these youthful, but hardened comrades-in-arms were dispersed to find their feet in a traumatised world. <br/><br/>Less than a year after demob, Bogarde found himself starring in his third feature film with car, chauffeur and five-storey house in Chester Row. He had somehow 'arrived' in the movies.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A charming and entertaining read by a born storyteller<br/>Sunday Express<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Sir Dirk Bogarde was an English actor and novelist.
