An enjoyable recollection of a life in film, but a little dry at times. The most interesting parts concern themselves with the Sydney Film Festival (of which David was director for many years) and its tussles with the censors regarding films to be shown. Stratton does not pull away from exposing his flaws (regular infedelity being one), but at the same time you are left in no doubt that film, and the analysis of film, is the love of his life.
