From the Back Cover
"A huge and valuable book . . . Bogdanovich includes everything: history, technique, gossip, minutiae."
--Roger Ebert
The New York Times Book Review
"A RARE PEEK AT THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF THE MOVIEMAKING BUSINESS . . . Bogdanovich gets Hawks to explain how he kept an insouciant Katharine Hepburn in line by threatening to 'kick [her] behind' in Bringing Up Baby. . . . Hitchcock derides the 'front office' that can't understand why Janet Leigh would be killed off so early in Psycho. . . . Siegel is furious about execs who insisted on grafting their own opening and ending onto 1956's Invasion of the Body Snatchers. . . . Delightful . . . Eloquent."
--Entertainment Weekly
"ENLIGHTENING . . . His remarkable access, conversational method of interviewing, and status as a peer in the industry provoked [these directors] to describe in detail their motivations, methods, and madnesses in making the most memorable movies of the twentieth century."
--The Washington Post Book World
"CHOCKABLOCK WITH ODD FACTS AND FASCINATING ANECDOTES . . . The interviews . . . encompass nearly the entire span of motion picture history."
--Los Angeles Times
