...what he says. During the past half-century or so, he has played dozens of memorable roles: a Prime Minister (Disraeli), a Pope (Innocent III), a King (Charles I), a prince (Arabia's Faisal), a fanatical colonel (Nicholson, in The Bridge on the River Kwai), a mad dictator (Hitler), a Jedi knight (Obi-wan Kenobi) and a spymaster (George Smiley in TV adaptations of John le Carre's espionage sagas). Now, at 71, he has added another role to that impressive list: author of one of the best show-business memoirs of recent years, a witty, wise and consistently entertaining...
