Recommended: Making Movies

Sidney Lumet, director of such successful movies as Serpico (1973) Dog Day Afternoon (1975) and Q & A (1990) , has written a wonderful insiders book about movie –making., This is not an exposé of the lives of famous actors, but rather a discussion of what goes into the making of a movie from the director’s point of view. Fascination for those of us who have watched movie-making from the outside.

See the book list in the sidebar for details. This book was published in 1996, and so will be found among the 1996 books in that list.
