Measle and the Doompit

Perhaps the most haunting and tormented love story ever written, Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights is the tale of the troubled orphan Heathcliff and his doomed love for Catherine Earnshaw. This isn't quite that. Ian Ogilvy's Withering Slights is a slightly less haunting but no less tormented love story between the celebrated author and actor, and his ever-looming wife - known simply as SHE. Here within are Mr. Ogilvy's unique and verbatim reviews of many films he's seen with his other half (his stream of consciousness style so beloved of his social media followers), with exclusive reviews written just for this collection. And an Afterword by SHE herself. Gulp.

'A wickedly entertaining new memoir' Daily Mail According to the Daily Mail Ian Ogilvy was 'the undisputed star of 1970s TV as the dashing Simon Templar in Return Of The Saint'. The show turned him into a household name, causing him to be touted as the next James Bond. From a liberal upbringing in post-war Britain, boarding school escapades and life at RADA, Ogilvy enjoyed an acting career spanning more than fifty years, including TV show Upstairs, Downstairs and films Witchfinder General, No Sex Please: We're British and Death Becomes Her. His story plays host to a spectacular all-star cast including Boris Karloff, Hayley Mills, Penelope Keith, Derek Nimmo, Timothy Dalton, Derek Jacobi and Meryl Streep, and Ogilvy gives a vivid account from behind the scenes of the Golden Age of television and film. Once a Saint is an amusing and unvarnished story: a tremendously endearing tale from a working actor. His story is modest and endlessly charming, told in such a way that opens a reader's heart to him.
