About this listen

At the age of 61, Sydney Greenstreet made one of the most memorable debuts in classic cinema as the mysterious Kaspar Gutman in The Maltese Falcon (1941). His performance earned him a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Born in England, Greenstreet had enjoyed a 40-year stage career which encompassed everything from Shakespeare to musical comedy and some of the most acclaimed plays of the 1930s. His film career lasted a mere eight years but included the timeless Casablanca (1942) and saw him teamed to great effect with the inimitable Peter Lorre. This is the first book dedicated to Greenstreet.

An informative and thorough biography on one of the most recognisable faces from the 1940's. As a huge Peter Lorre fan, I have always appreciated Green Street, but knew very little about him. This book gave a great overview of his life and work, especially on stage. A good read for fans of the Golden Age of cinema.

An excellent biography.
