In 'Cleared for Take-off', Dirk Bogarde offers the final volume of his acclaimed memoirs, where he shares memories of the war years, his service as a captain in photographic intelligence, and the postwar period, when he embarked on his film career. The author recounts his experiences in Hollywood, Italy, and Provence, culminating with his return to England. Through its pages, Bogarde evokes the horrors and terror of enemy attacks, the bitter ironic humor of the battlefield, despair and hopelessness, as well as the stage fright of a young actor 'arriving' in the world of cinema.
Sir Dirk Bogarde was an English actor, novelist and screenwriter. Initially a matinée idol in films such as Doctor in the House (1954) for the Rank Organisation, he later acted in art house films, evolving from "heartthrob to icon of edginess".
