Product Description

Review
"...this is a book you must read...Tomahawk Press, one of the best independent publishing houses of niche market title books in the world, are to be applauded for bringing this excellent tome to add to our library of movie books. Superbly researched, handsomely illustrated...I cannot highly recommend this enough." -- Cinema Retro, March 2008. Featured in The Spectator, November 2008

www.motorbar.com, April 2008
With a complete filmography, as well as both colour and black-and-white photographs throughout, 'What's the Bleeding Time?' is a superb biography. As Ken Annakin says in his Afterword: "...this book is a fine tribute".

5.0 out of 5 stars And Justice for All..., 19 Mar 2008
By Wh Ferguson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a huge fan of the 'Doctor' series of films. Indeed, they inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. To discover that someone had, at long last, written a biography of JRJ was an absolute joy. He is one of those actors that everybody recognises instantly yet, bizarrely, knows precious little about.
Mr. Hogg and his co-authors have done a fantastic job of researching and collating this extraordinary life. Here is the story of someone who seemed to treat his 'profession' with a degree of disdain, preferring to fly his hawks on the Scottish moors, stand for Parliament under an assumed Gaelic name or belittle Barbara Cartland at social functions!
I cannot recommend this work highly enough. As a record of a truly underrated legend of British cinema, and of the British film industry itself, it is without equal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, 10 May 2008
This book is one of those rare books that made it difficult for me to put it down, JRJ had many jobs and interests and he never classed himself as an actor, he said he never acted just played himself on screen and thankfully this book focuses more on the man and not the movies, what a life he had, well worth reading and I strongly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant man, brilliant book, 26 Mar 2008
By M. M. Hardeman (Derby UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a long overdue biography of an eccentric and highly enigmatic man whose acting abilities wre only a relatively small part of a hugely complex multi talented human being. James Hogg has made a superb job of researching every aspect of Jamesa Robertson Justice's life, which cannot have been easy since he was so often a closed book and a law unto himself, and many people only ever knew whatever part of them he chose to make available at any given time. The result is a very full account which is also very readable. Highly recommended.
