This book covers his marriage to Joan (hardly surprising, as she is the author!) Joan describes, honestly, the fascination she felt for John's friend, Tony Hancock and how she was unfaithful to John and still did not see that Hancock was 'damaged goods', when he hit her in drunken states. John was absolutely amazing, he did not berate his wife but waited patiently to pick up the pieces once the inevitable separation came.
The fact that he took Joan back and consoled her after Hancock's suicide is quite astounding. She says that he never used her infidelity against her. I wish I were so understanding; although, it does come across, sometimes, as if John were just a little too laid back. Rather in the style of the aforementioned Sargent Wilson, he never seems to have made a stand for or against anything.½
