Wilfrid Brambell was one of Britain's most loved and complex character actors. As Albert Ladysmith Steptoe, the unscrupulous rag-and-bone man with questionable habits in Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's long-running Steptoe & Son, he quickly became a household name with co-star Harry H. Corbett. But despite scores of other successes in roles on stage, TV and film, Brambell died a sad and lonely man.

Revisado: 04-19-23
If you know of Wilfrid Brambell only as Paul's Grandfather in A Hard Day's Night, you may be in for a number of surprises in terms of how varied a career he had. Stephen Perring did a fine job narrating as well, but I couldn't help but notice a major inaccuracy. In the chapter on A Hard Day's Night, the author, in discussing director Richard Lester, claimed that he directed the first three Christopher Reeve Superman films. Actually, the first movie was directed by Richard Donner, while Superman II was begun by Donner and was finished by Richard Lester. Lester did fully direct Superman III, however. I was surprised at such an obvious error, given the incredible research done for the book otherwise. Hopefully, this will be corrected in future editions.
