Pay no attention to the previous reviewer

This is an enjoyable collection of interviews with legendary American movie directors, actors, and writers. It's filled with anecdotes, reminiscences, regrets, gossip, and enlightening glimpses into how movies get made. If all of this sounds dull to you, and if you don't care what people such as Dore Schary, Joel McCrae, Ida Lupino, Alfred Hitchcock, Ronald Reagan, William Wellman, and Robert Stevenson (you might not know the name, but you sure know his work) had to say, then by all means, skip this one and leave it to film lovers who will appreciate it.
