There's no business like show business. Tony Goodliffe should know. Arriving in New Zealand in teh 1950s, he was soon hired by Kerridge Odeon and proved himself one of the most successful cinema managers on teh circuit. His career continued upwards after he joined the promoter Michael Edgley International.

Countless celebrities have passed through Tony's hands - actors, musicians, dancers, comedians, circus troupes. Even more numerous are the tales he has to tell - of his charges' foibles, eccentricities, mishaps and publicity stunts.
