Reviews

'Utterly engaging... 'Action!' [is] a wide-ranging and exemplary collection.' -Richard Brody, 'The New Yorker'


'A must-own for anyone seriously interested in developing a source-book library on film directing. These are the greats and the near-greats, many of whom have rarely been interviewed. The editor did a wonderful job!'<br> Eric Sherman, author of 'Directing the Film '
