Beskrivelse
From the dead-end highways of Monte Hellman to the sword-wielding skeletons of Ray Harryhausen; from Frankenstein to Warren Oates - this wonderfully eclectic collection of interviews and essays on movies and the people who make them ranges widely through Hollywoods old and new, yet certain themes and faces keep recurring. Included are career-overview interviews with 14 cult figures, including actors RICHARD WIDMARK, HARRY DEAN STANTON, BRUCE DERN, DAVID CARRADINE, KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, BURT YOUNG and ELLIOTT GOULD; and filmmakers MONTE HELLMAN, ARTHUR PENN, ROGER CORMAN, WALTER HILL, JOHN MILIUS, OLIVER STONE and RAY HARRYHAUSEN.Elsewhere come pieces on Stanley Kubrick as a boy photographer; Sir Ian McKellen discussing his performance as Frankenstein-director James Whale; explorations of the pre-Hollywood writing careers of horror auteur Val Lewton and maverick legend Sam Fuller; sketches of figures ranging from John Wayne to Warren Oates; considerations of films including Dracula, Freaks, Sunset Boulevard and In A Lonely Place...and much more.For film lovers and film scholars alike, an intriguing, lyrical and provocative collection.
