Product Description

First published in 1978 Snakes and Ladders is volume two of Dirk Bogarde's best-selling memoirs

Snakes and Ladders follows Bogarde from the challenges of his army training camp at Catterick through the horrors of war to his glittering - if often trying - film career. We see the thoughtful boy finding his way alongside his fellow recruits to emerge from the war a thoughtful man shaped in many ways by his harrowing experiences.

Somewhat falling into his career Dirk struggled with the demands that such great success brings with it. With personal insight into his close friendship with Judy Garland his working method with Visconti and his many vital relationships with friends and family Snakes and Ladders sheds an honest and not always flattering light on his life.
