Summary: Enjoyable stories but not much else
Comment: Siegel has written a chapter on nearly very film he was involved in. From his days doing Montage sequences for some classic films (i.e. The Raging Twenties) to getting his first directors gig from the wary studio mogols.
Siegel is an entertaining writer but you feel as if your not getting the full picture from him. Details are skipped over and lost. Some infamous people emerge (i.e. Sam Peckinpah, Ronald Regan, etc.) but other stuff is neglected. For example, I don't think Siegel even mentions John Milius' contribution to Dirty Harry. Peckinpah's trouble with studio brass is hardly covered but there is some interesting stuff on the making of Charley Varrick and The Shootist.
Theres not much information for those interested in film making, but for light reading I would recomend the book but just don't expect too much.
