Press Reviews:
George Cukor, famous for his direction of the great screen actresses of our day, tells of working with Garbo, Hepburn, Monroe, Garland .... Alfred Hitchcock describes with obvious relish, the technical tricks involved in making The Birds ....
King Vidor explains what it was like to work for the great and difficult producer David O. Selznick . . . . Fritz Lang expounds on the dark brooding themes that run throughout his films ....
From these fifteen directors emerges a candid, comprehensive portrait of Hollywood from the Talkies through the Sixties - the stars, the moguls, the producers, the studios, and the films themselves. A feast of inside information for movie buffs or for anyone who has ever lost his heart to THE CELLULOID MUSE.
"No film fan worthy of the name will put it down."
-John Russell Taylor, Sight and Sound
