About the Book

A biography of the Oscar-winning actor, Hugh Griffith, from Anglesey. Through letters, reviews, diaries and unique pictures from the family's personal archive, we are guided through his journey from Angorfa, Marian-glas, to the stages of Stratford, the West End and to the set of the Hollywood film where he won an Oscar.

Review :
Dyma gofiant eithriadol o ddifyr i Hugh Griffith, yr actor o Farian-glas, wedi ei ysgrifennu fel hunangofiant, a hynny yn dra effeithiol. Nid oes angen dweud mwy wrth lawer ohonom. Enillodd Oscar am ei ran hynod fel yr Arab yn Ben Hur. Disgleiriodd fel y sgweiar yn Tom Jones a rhoes bortread bythgofiadwy or trefnydd angladdau yn Grand Slam. Ond bydd cof llawer ohonom yn mynd ymhellach yn l na hynny, at ei rannau yn y ffilmiau The Last Days of Dolwyn a Run for your Money. Trwy gyfrwng ffilm diogelir perfformiadau cofiadwy ir oesoedd a ddl, ond nid felly gydar theatr. Diolch, fodd bynnag, fod Peter Hall, un o fawrion y theatr, wedi dweud mai Hugh Griffith a roddodd y perfformiad llwyfan mwyaf cofiadwy o Falstaff yn ei oes ef. Tystia ei chwaer, Charlotte, mai ei bortread llwyfan o Prospero oedd ei berfformiad gorau or holl rai a welodd hi. Diolch i Hywel Gwynfryn am ei gymwynas yn dod wyneb a llais yr athrylith hwn yn l ir llifoleuadau. Roedd wyneb unigryw Hugh Griffith yn allweddol iw lwyddiant: yr aeliau trymion, y llygaid mawr aflonydd ar trwyn Iddewig, fel y gwelir ar y clawr. Maer sigart ar Oscar yno hefyd, ond ni welir y gwydryn brandi oedd yn gysur ac yn broblem oes iddo! Anodd weithiau yw barnu pwy syn siarad mewn gwirionedd, ai Hugh ynteur cymeriad lliwgar a bortreadai ar y pryd. Er ei fod yn dynnwr coes ac yn meddu ar synnwyr digrifwch hynod, dioddefai o iselder yn aml. Ymddengys fod ei ffordd o fyw yn rhannol gyfrifol am hynny, yn ogystal ag amgylchiadau actor ym myd ansicr y theatr. Nid oedd Griffith yn amharod i ddweud ei farn ar rai materion megis cyflwr amaturaidd y theatr yng Nghymru, ac am Goleg y Gogledd ai gwrthododd. Methodd yn ei astudiaethau Saesneg er iddo ddisgleirio yn y pynciau eraill. Fodd bynnag, derbyniodd radd er anrhydedd gan y coleg ai derbyn gyda gras ymataliol! Chwaer Hugh oedd Elen Roger Jones, yr actores y caed cofiant iddi gan Harri G. Parri. Yn actorion o fri gydar wynebau unigryw, roedd y ddau yn wahanol iawn iw gilydd. Cydnabu Hugh ei ddyled fel actor i bregethu dramatig yr hen bregethwyr. Ymddengys fod y pregethau yn ogystal r pregethu wedi cael dylanwad ar Elen! Er mor wahanol eu byd bur ddau yn driw iw gilydd. Darllenais y gyfrol ar un eisteddiad. John Owen Gellir defnyddio'r adolygiad hwn at bwrpas hybu, ond gofynnir i chi gynnwys y gydnabyddiaeth ganlynol: Adolygiad oddi ar www.gwales.com, trwy ganiatd Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru.
