About this book
"A wonderful introduction to the workings of the Hollywood system. We learn in rich and yet accessible detail about special effects, technical wizardry and gadgetry, lighting, make-up, the breakdown of crews, and filming strategies. The book is legendary and its reprint is a major event for film study."--Dana Polan, University of Pittsburgh "A wonderful introduction to the workings of the Hollywood system.
