About this listen

David Niven is remembered as one of Britain's best-loved actors. The archetypal English gentleman, he starred in over ninety films. He is also one of Hollywood's finest chroniclers. In this second volume, David Niven turns his attention to 'The Great Days of Hollywood' between 1935 and 1960. These were times of legendary film stars and despotic producers, of tycoons, of oddballs, and of classic movies. Rich in anecdote, and written in his inimitable humorous style, Bring on the Empty Horses is perhaps the most acclaimed sequel to an autobiography ever written.

Beautifully written and narrated. Enjoyed every word. I feel I've read everything out there that's a worthy read and struggling to find something new. So glad I came across this (and The Moon's a Balloon). Highly recommend both.

Self deprecating - full of highs and lows and laughs. He was a gent of his time. Story about Duke of Marlborough - fantastic.

Lovely stories from old Hollywood. David Niven speaks about his friends with endearment.
He has a lovely reading voice and I found him interesting.
It's more about the people that he has known rather than his own life experiences. More over the life experiences of others. But I found it very interesting. And have a new love of David Niven.
