Peter Ustinov

What an incredibly insightful man! I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Peter Ustinov also wrote a fabulous book called The Old Man & Mr Smith. It is well worth a read.

Ustinov, simply speaking

The world is better for him being part of it. This interview is simply but marvelously constructed. If your a Ustinov fan then this book is for you.
