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.\" --Roger Ebert, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy 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 shootout--involving more than one hundred extras and three colliding taxis--in the heart of New York's diamond district? What does it take to keep the studio honchos happy? From the first rehearsal to the final screening, \u003ci\u003eMaking Movies\u003c\/i\u003e is a master's take, delivered with clarity, candor, and a wealth of anecdote. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eLong Day's Journey into Night\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eNetwork\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Verdict\u003c\/i\u003e--and with such stars as Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Al Pacino--Lumet explains how painstaking labor and inspired split-second decisions can result in two hours of screen magic.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Making Movies | Sidney Lumet | Paperback | 9780679756606 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1780997","offer_id":50767085502722,"sku":"1780997","price":29.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71nL_gTHrNL.jpg?v=1792095527","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/making-movies","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
