Publisher's Summary:
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 Kindle Singles: Lake and Private.
Editorial Reviews:
Set in Cuba during the revolution, Crooning follows the mad journey of a Hollywood director and his entourage, bent on finding the perfect location for his new film. Meanwhile, the revolution is in full swing and Fidel Castro has taken an interest in the project! Hilarious and exciting, Crooning is a fast-paced piece of lighthearted historical fancy. J. Paul Guimont's performance of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Gilroy's story is charismatic and witty. His rendition of absurd characters like Dick Powell is enough to bring a smile to any listener's ears.

Crooning is a fun read!
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!
Enjoy able 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.
A Hoot, Crooning
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.
Great haracter Development
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.
Not my cup of tea.
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.
