In his book, With Malice Towards Some: Tales from a Life Dancing With Stars, noted choreographer, writer and director Robert ("Bob") Sidney reflects back on his long and successful career. With Malice Towards Some is a compilation of the most charming, revealing, amusing and personal vignettes of some of the superstars of the entertainment world with whom he worked for over four decades. There is a vast cast of over 40 characters from television, films, theatre, opera, and public life, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Debbie Reynolds, Mitzi Gaynor, Cyd Charisse, Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable, June Allyson, Lucille Ball, Liberace, Lena Horne, Jack Lemmon, Ann-Margret, Susan Hayward, Joan Collins and Tallulah Bankhead. The stories and anecdotes are new and fresh about the icons we have come to know and love.

And yet they remain some of his best friends.… (more)

What a delightful book. Mr. Sidney started as a choreographer with Irving Berlin's This is the Army. Each chapter is about a different person he worked with. The stories in the book are priceless. I am so thankful he shared his memories with us. ( )
