The Secret Life of Danny Kaye
Michael Freedland traces the career of Danny Kaye , one of the most fascinating showbusiness stories of the last 50 years.
He was a singer who mesmerised audiences at the London Palladiwn, a comedian who enchanted night-club audiences, a film star who had people doubled up with the pain of uncontrollable laughter and an actor who could make almost as many others burst into tears. Freedland, Kaye's biographer, examines the phenomenon of the man who didn't quite become the entertainer of the century - simply because he was never content with what he was doing. Producer Stella Hanson
