"Films are national treasures. Getting a glimpse of how they are made is a treat for the film lover. Hopefully, these nominations will continue to provide that." ―American Reference Books Annual
"Of all the directors here, it is Spielberg who speaks at greatest length and in most detail, and his remarks alone are worth the price of admission....budding auteurs...stand to learn a great deal from the accumulated wisdom in these pages." ―The Hollywood Reporter

"...fascinating and insightful...a highly informative and wildly entertaining read." ―Dga Quarterly
