In May 1999, after a 40-year career including 100 films, Oliver Reed died, as he had invariably lived, drinking with friends while making another film - his well-reviewed performance in the blockbuster 'Gladiator'. Having risen through Hammer Horror films to international stardom as Bill Sykes in 'Oliver!', Reed became, in his own words, "the biggest star this country has got". With his legendary off-screen exploits and blunt opinions - especially of his co-stars - he was also one of the most infamous.
Bestselling author Cliff Goodwin uses material from first-hand interviews with Reed's family, friends and colleagues and never-before-seen photographs to explore Reed's eventful career, but he also reveals another side to this unique and complex man.
