Hear the true story behind Richard Burton’s claim in his diary that his wife,

Nonsense! What really happened was… Well, turn up and find out.

Peter Sellers – how he betrayed me three times and nearly got me fired.

John Wayne – how, deeply influenced by an excessive intake of bourbon, he rose
up with the intention of smiting me hip and thigh from his seat in the club car
of a train from Denver to Salt Lake City.

criminals.
