This book is excellent and maybe one of the best historical representations
of the hollywood filmmaking process. The essays are informative and
sometimes shocking in their revelations .
A great tale of movie backgrounds April 26, 2009

This is a riveting and absorbing look at the backstory of and circumstances surrounding a wide array of films, from marred classics such as "Magnificent Ambersons" to legendary flops like "Cleopatra" to triumphs like "The Graduate."
This book is recommended for movie buffs.

Caroline Yarnall (Eastsound, WA)
I enjoy reading this book a lot. I grew up during the time when many of these films were made ("Rebel Without A Cause", my favorite), so it's all very familiar and interesting to me. I rec'd the book on a very fast turnaround. All very good. Thank you!~

The real Mccoy. A prime rib.

This is a perfect book to read if you love movies, and it's too cold out to go to one! Culled from Vanity Fair's vast output of movie exposes, this compilation, from different staff writers, focuses on 13 titles. Classics like Rebel Without a Cause, All About Eve, Reds, and Midnight Cowboy are included, along with such legendary disasters like Cleopatra and Myra Breckenridge. The behind-the-scenes trivia is fun and the stories are generally well written with amusing observations from the (surviving) cast and crew of each film. Among those things I learned: Burt Lancaster was hardly a Prince among men, and Debbie Reynolds was among those considered for the heroine in "Rebel." The chapter on "Eve" subsequently became an entire book from that writer. Includes a foreword from present-day editor Graydon Carter.
