Sidney James: The Definitive Biography

Sidney James: The Definitive Biography
By Paul Burton

The official, definitive, true story of the life and work of screen, stage and radio icon Sidney James, written in conjunction with his children, Reina, Susan and James.

Much has been written about Carry On favourite Sid over the years, but most of it confuses his on-screen persona with his real self: a thorough gentleman who acted as father figure, not lecherous uncle, to the beautiful young women with whom he regularly co-starred.

This new book aims to set the record straight.
