Albert Finney in Character: A Biography

by Quentin Falk

Albert Finney was once the screen's incarnation of the new British working-class hero. In the theatre, he was hailed as the new Olivier. Yet, instead of actively pursuing either image, he went his own way. This biography, attempts to probe the real man beneath the many masks of the actor, director, traveller, bon viveur and lover.

I’ve done it again. I thought I’d chosen I biography of an actor’s life and instead I have an actors career.

It is well written and very detailed but “Albert Finney In Character” is exactly that. You pick up hints of who Albert is away from the stage or camera but only hints.
