Praise
(unknown)
"In telling his own tale, Mr. Hart displays not only a remarkable flair for dramatization but...a playwright's intuitive knowledge of what to leave out...Apart from its evocation of the Borscht Circuit, its glimpses of Mr. Kaufman, and its unabashed glee at the prospect of money, the main value of the book will probably be as an anthology of autobiographical cliches." November 28, 1959 New York Times Book Review
"[Moss Hart's] prose is lithe, clean and easy. He is engagingly candid; when he ventures into the emotional realms of human relations, he is moving and poignant. He is also hilariously funny. This is the best book on 'show business' as practiced in this country in our time that I have ever read; it is entertaining and fascinating through all its considerable length." September 20, 1959
