Summary

Bellos has had the full co-operation of Tati's daughter in the writing of his biography. What emerges is the picture of a man at once dedicated, impassioned and shy, more an artist than a man of business. In this closely researched account, the man becomes abundantly alive and remains, as on screen, strangely lovable.
