Wired To The Moon: Frank Randle - A Life
Frank Randle was one of the great music hall comedians and arguably Britain's greatest ever comic character actor. Today, fifty years after his death, the mention of his name still brings a smile to many faces.
He was the major attraction for years in Blackpool summer shows and a star of low budget films all box office successes. His own touring company Randle's Scandals packed theatres for over ten years.
With his popularity, however, also came notoriety, his name appearing in newspaper headlines almost as often as on theatre bills and his appearances in court were as frequent as on stage. Drunken, violent, crazy, foul-mouthed and cunning are words which could describe Randle. But so too are gentle, kind, warm-hearted, generous and well-mannered.
Randle fans along with film buffs have bemoaned the lack of accessible material until now. This book may or may not alter your opinion of Randle, but it will give a fascinating look at his life.
