Entertaining. A typical "as told to" autobiography of the era- everything is very smooth and positive. The chapters on Menjou's youth and his rise in the profession are the best, the later chapters have (as another poster has noted) too much golf. This book was undoubtedly published to help Menjou's reputation during the McCarthy era, of which there is not the slightest mention.
Superficial, but certainly a very fun read. Some interesting info on being a dress extra and bit part player at Vitagraph and other studios. Too much about golf. Very entertaining, but you don’t learn much about Menjou. Doesn’t mention politics or trash Chaplin.
