ONE OF THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER'S┬а100 GREATEST FILM BOOKS OF ALL TIME тАв тАЬInvaluable.... I am sometimes asked if there is one book a filmgoer could read to learn more about how movies are made and what to look for while watching them. This is the book.тАЭ тАФRoger Ebert, The New York Times Book Review
Why does a director choose a particular script? What must they do in order to keep actors fresh and truthful through take after take of a single scene? How do you stage a shootoutтАФinvolving more than one hundred extras and three colliding taxisтАФin the heart of New YorkтАЩs diamond district? What does it take to keep the studio honchos happy? From the first rehearsal to the final screening, Making Movies is a masterтАЩs take, delivered with clarity, candor, and a wealth of anecdote.
For in this book, Sidney Lumet, one of our most consistently acclaimed directors, gives us both a professional memoir and a definitive guide to the art, craft, and business of the motion picture. Drawing on forty years of experience on movies that range from Long DayтАЩs Journey into Night to Network and The VerdictтАФand with such stars as Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Al PacinoтАФLumet explains how painstaking labor and inspired split-second decisions can result in two hours of screen magic.
