Against Type: The Biography Of Burt Lancaster |
I could recognise Burt's face but would be hard put to name his films, probably because of his refusal to be pigeon-holed and his insistence on taking on such a wide range of roles. His attention to detail, his obstinacy, legendary temper and his burning desire to be as good as he could possibly be, made him either a challenging and demanding employee or a marvellous and generous actor. No half measures with Burt Lancaster!
