NIAGARA FALLS ALL OVER AGAIN

This fictional autobiography tells the story of Moe Sharp, the straight man in the comedy team of Carter and Sharp, which rose from vaudeville to success in Hollywood during the first half of the previous century. Especially as read by George Guidall, this is a sweet, funny, and ultimately touching personal odyssey of a nice Jewish boy's love affair with his problematic life in show business. The account doesn't stint on the seamier side but is informed by the unconquerable decency of the hero. The reading is very fine, but the sound quality is poor. Y.R.
