He was a Movie Star. A Movie Star. From Hollywood, US of A, right? Sure he was. That's why he was penniless, in old rags, soaked to the skin and humping grey rocks onto a dry-stone wall in England, on a bitter day in 1935, under the red-eyed gaze of a bull-faced farmer who had blood on his hands and urine stains on his trousers. That's why he was trapped in a miserable little crack in the land that the hicks who had become his jailers grandly imagined was a valley, and why he slept on a hard bed in a draughty room with rats. Hollywood stars do that sort of thing all the time, sure they do. So this is story of how the pampered Hollywood mummy's boy had to work hard on the land, to raise the money to get back to the USA; how he found love, and became a latter-day Robin Hood.
