4.0 out of 5 stars A sideways look at a comedy legend, 2 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady Don't Fall Backwards: A memoir dedicated to Tony Hancock and John Le Mesurier (Hardcover)
Tony Hancock was possibly the finest comedian Britain ever produced. But he was beset by demons. Joan le Mesurier was one of the women who was entranced by this comedy giant, and almost brought to the brink of destruction by his love affair with the bottle. Here she recounts how she betrayed one of Britain's best-loved actors, John Le Mesurier, to have a tortured affair with her husband's best friend. It is a testament to John's deep-seated decency that he found the inner resources to forgive her and the couple enjoyed a happy marriage until his death.
