Book summary

Continuing and updating the memoirs he began with "The Original Sin" in 1972, the Oscar-winning actor uses his daily bike ride through the hills and villages surrounding his Italian home to frame his reminiscences about his dirt-poor childhood in El Paso, his associations with John Barrymore, Laurence Olivier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and John Steinbeck, and lovers and loves too numerous to mention, of which he states, "I have been loved a thousand times, and still I am wanting. Does this leave me a triumphant success or a colossal failure?" Includes 32 pages of photographs.
