About this listen

David Niven is remembered as one of Britain's best-loved actors. The archetypal English gentleman, he starred in over ninety films. He is also one of Hollywood's finest chroniclers. In this second volume, David Niven turns his attention to 'The Great Days of Hollywood' between 1935 and 1960. These were times of legendary film stars and despotic producers, of tycoons, of oddballs, and of classic movies. Rich in anecdote, and written in his inimitable humorous style, Bring on the Empty Horses is perhaps the most acclaimed sequel to an autobiography ever written.

This and The Moon’s a Balloon are my all time favourite autobiographies. I purchased both Audible versions presuming I could enjoy them once again, many years on. I was most disappointed to find they were both abridged versions of less than three hours each and contained very few of David Niven’s funniest anecdotes. If you want to read the best autobiographies ever written, sadly you’ll need the paper version.
