A candid, anecdotal account of Davis’s further adventures in Hollywood picks up where Yes I Can! left off, recalling wild Vegas nights with the “rat pack,” philosophical discussions with Bogart, and love advice from Porfirio Rubirosa.

Review: I feel I found a treasure in this book as it doesn’t seem to have gotten nearly as much attention as Yes I Can & Why Me? I first found out about it while reading In Black & White by Wil Haygood (he was very thorough in mentioning his sources!) This book is to “Bring On The Empty Horses” by David Niven as “Why Me” or “Yes I Can” is to “The Moon’s a Balloon” (also by Niven).

Rather than following Sammy’s life, each chapter is dedicated to a person, a passion or specific event or role (such as his role as Sportin’ Life). One chapter details his interest in bullfighting and his friendships with the matadors. He mentions how he even learnt their flairs and “signatures’ ‘ for some of his performances in Spain and the crowd’s subsequent reaction. So while a somewhat iffy “sport” (I can’t agree with it myself) the chapter was still an interesting read. I am a big fan of Sammy’s, so it was all gold to me. If you are, I can’t recommend it enough.
