Books Mark Kermode recommended this after an interview on the film review show when
all Richard Dreyfus wanted to talk about was what a shit Michael Cimino had been rather than publicise his new release. It's stunning a stunning memoir covering the production of all the films on the cover plus Convoy, The Wicker Man and The Man Who Fell To Earth. Not just a string of showbiz annecdotes (all of which are incredibly funny and illuminating), it demonstrates in detail the role of the producer in putting together packages to sell to studios and working on set day-to-day to keep the production moving on budget and schedule. Essential.
