Dick Powell (movie star, singer, turned film director) says we're going to scout Cuba as a possible location for the script I wrote. I remind him there's a revolution in progress and Castro has been kidnapping celebrities for ransom. "Afraid?" he challenges. "No," I reply. " But if he snatches you, I'll be grabbed too so here's the deal I stay on salary and Fox gets first refusal of anything I write about it."
Thus begins Crooning by Frank D. Gilroy, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, award-winning filmmaker, novelist and author of two previous best-selling Singles Lake and Private.

Having just returned from Cuba I was most interested in what Mr. Gilroy experienced. He was writing about his youthful adventures from his past. It was a fun read and personal. Cuba is very different today. The story is about his adventure, not about Cuba. It was light and fun.Product details

Crooning (Audible Audio Edition) Frank D Gilroy J Paul Guimont Audible Studios Books Reviews
Love this book. It's the first, or only novel I've seen or read in which Fidel Castro while still in the mountains before his revolution succeeds, is a figure of fun. What he wants even more than winning militarily is to be a success as a popular crooner.
What an ego ! What a concept for a story ! Hilarious !
Who else but Frank Gilroy could have pulled this off in just 41 kindle pages of pure reading pleasure? This is a captivating and fast-moving account of colorful, famous-in-their-own ways people brought together in Cuba in 1958 by the seemingly-unrelated agendas of Hollywood and revolution, with a kidnapping serving as what Hitchcock would have called the "mcguffin"...but even famous people, no matter their exteriors and reputations, may not always be what they seem, particularly when Hollywood aspirations, and hokum, are at play. What a joy that Mr. Gilroy revels in the kindle single medium. This one is another clear winner, quite a value at $1.99, and one that will leave you smiling (and thinking). What more could one ask?
Because I have an ethic of finishing anything I start reading, I managed to get through this. For me, there was nothing inspiring or worthy of a re-read, though.
Crooning by Frank Gilroy. What a hoot. A little known episode during revolutionary Cuba. I won't reveal the story except that the writer and a famous Film Star, Crooner are captured by Castro. All ends well in this very funny adventure.
A delightful fun read by the incomparable Frank D. Gilroy who creates wonderful, fully-developed characters in a fast story that will make you read it quickly to find out what happens next! Fully-developed characters include the author, Dick Powell, Fidel Castro and others in a comedy/mystery/adventure sure to please and to awaken reading as a pleasure!
Crooning is an excellent short story that is lead by the characters more than the story. Don't get me wrong; the plot is good, but the characters provide the humor and make this story a fun read.
Having just returned from Cuba I was most interested in what Mr. Gilroy experienced. He was writing about his youthful adventures from his past. It was a fun read and personal. Cuba is very different today. The story is about his adventure, not about Cuba. It was light and fun.
