Synopsis
The legendary Jack Cardiff has retired to the sleepy village of Denham, Buckinghamshire.
His days of hard work - and play - on some of the most famous film sets in the world are now long behind him, as are his secret liaisons with some of the most famous women in the world ...
Surrounded by memorabilia from a lifetime of 'painting with light', the writing of an autobiography should be an easy matter - were it not that Jack would now rather live in the past than remember it.
