His research into Mr. Lewis' often miserable offscreen existence hasn't soured him on the wild beauties of the early performances Yet Mr. Levy keeps his balance. Spot-check him on individual topics...and you find the author striving to be scrupulously fair." -New York Times Book Review "Put your mitts together for this 'sock' biography of one of the last great entertainers This scrupulous, skillful, incessantly fair account should go a long way toward restoring Lewis to his proper place in the entertainment firmament." -Kirkus Reviews Vissza
