A good back in terms of summaries of the movies she was in and some biographical details. The author very much sees Pola as probably more than she was, but enough information is presented to let the reader draw his own conclusion. Overall, I would recommend the book.

Could have been better
A good opportunity to learn about Pola but way too many personal thoughts for my taste. Enjoyed the detail on the films though. Very good but not great
