| Plot Summary of Memoirs of a Professional Cad |
|---|
"George Sanders typically played a role very much like he himself was: the cultured cad. His memoirs, written twelve years before his 1972 death, begin with his birth in St. Petersburg and education in England, but most of the book describes the man he was during his adult life. He worked on more than 100 films."
