  Trevor Howard was a unique man with a distinctive acting talent. Perhaps best known for his roles in the classics Brief Encounter and The Third Man, or in the epic films, Mutiny on the Bounty, Von Ryan's Express, and Ryan's Daughter, he had a long career in theatre and film. As well as putting his long and distinguished career in context, this forthright and honest biography analyzes the contrary aspects of Howard's personality--one minute an outspoken rabble-rouser, the next a courteous and considerate gentleman--to reveal for the first time the man behind the myth. Terence Pettigrew has written for television and is the author of Bogart, British Film Character Actors, Raising Hell, and three volumes of poetry.
