The Disciple and his Devil - Gabriel Pascal, Bernard Shaw by Valerie Pascal - 1970

McGraw Hill, New York, 1970. First UK Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. This book is Valerie Pascal's biography of her husband – a candid memoir of a man whose career spanned continents, who knew and worked with virtually every important film and theatre personality of his day, who savoured brilliant triumphs yet fought with stubborn courage the misfortunes that circumstances and his own wilful nature brought upon him. It is also a fascinating portrait – highlighted by numerous lively quotations from the unpublished Sean – Pascal correspondence – of George Bernard Shaw in his vigourous old age, involved to the hilt in Pascal's films of his plays, as concerned with the finances of the productions as with the details of casting, direction, and scripts.
