"An entertainer with few equals." Daily Mail

"Creasingly Funny." The Times

Described by Sir Paul McCartney as 'the man who makes clouds disappear', Victor Spinetti is one of Britain's best-loved and most outrageous performers. He became known to the Sixties generation through his comedic roles in the landmark Beatles films and the classic Return of the Pink Panther, starring Peter Sellers. His remarkable wit and versatility have earned him fresh popularity with every generation since.

A veteran stage actor, writer and director, Spinetti gives us an irresistible account of his own life, from his Welsh-Italian upbringing to his role as one of the few trusted friends of the Beatles through to his recent portrayal of Einstein on stage in London. Up Front contains startling new insights into life with the Beatles, and a selection of previously unpublished photos of the Fab Four.

Spinetti's charismatic personality and his fabulous ability to entertain combine to make this a book of exquisite charm, joy and irreverence.
