Although written for a mainstream market, this book, whilst apparently glossing over controversial issues actually does probe the underside of MM's life, but, by not taking a particular position retains far more dignity than most biogs (though, to be fair, this is mostly lightweight and research free. Great photographs though rather padded with plot descriptions of the films. Definitely worth reading though.

I think I read the Spanish version.
The text is not worthing at all. There are few mistakes. Only the pictures are great, huge and good quality, but not exclusive. There are other books with better shots.

Found this at a thrift store. It has lots of candid photos taken while on the set of several films.
