Book review: SteveMartin slips with funny but thin movie memoir 'Number One is Walking'
"Number One is Walking: My Life in the Movies and Other Diversions" by Steve Martin with drawings by Harry Bliss
Instead of providing a charming twist on the standard memoir, Bliss' drawings come off as padding. More than half the pages are his one-frame cartoons, the"other diversions" promised in the title. At least they're amusing enough to accomplish their mission. Director Mike Nichols summed up Martin's movie career in saying,"You always aim high at something low." Actor Michael Caine learned early on who was making the real money in Hollywood: Actors decorated their homes with pictures of themselves; on producers' walls were Van Goghs and Monets.
