But he also introduces us to the private John Dark - John the son, the wartime evacuee, the conscript in Kenya, the drapery salesman; John the lover, husband, father, friend.Dark at the Top of the Stairs will tell you what the words Produced by . really mean - not just in terms of the jobs responsibilities, its perks and privileges, but in terms too of the sometimes tremendous cost it exacts.In one of his conversations with Orson Welles, the screen legend refers to film-making as a fascinating business. Dark at the Top of the Stairs is a fascinating read about that fascinating business.
