...Henry Fonda exults on the jacket of Fonda, Howard Teichmann's new as-told-to book. And Fonda's spirit merely mimics that of other such recent candor-struck memoirists as Shelley Winters, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Ashley, Sidney Poitier, Gene Tierney, Joan Fontaine and Ingrid Bergman. There cannot be many Hollywood giants left who have not been treated in one book or another. To peruse even a few thousand pages of these literary star treks, however, is to realize that they do not bring unmitigated pleasure to the ordinary reader...

Some of the funniest, most touching scenes are when the guys realize that there's some kind of a world out there, outside of Baltimore. They see a Bergman film and struggle with the symbolism. "I've been to Atlantic City hundreds of times, and I've never seen death walking on the beach," one of them says, but even if they seem a bit slow at times, one can almost feel them growing up all the same. When Boogie and Eddie are driving along and meet up with a suave, sophisticated horseback rider, who's the kind of self...
