I really wanted this book to be a bit more than it was. Yes, the author is in love with Audrey (as are so many of us) and interested in the real cultural impact that she had, but that's about all that really goes deeper than gossip about a film.

Sadly he really misses the chance to address the outright racism of the film or the longer lasting effects of it, choosing instead to point it out and leave.

Still, for fans of Audrey and filmmaking it's a fun fast read.
