The director : the best job in the world
The script : are writers necessary?
Style : the most misused word since love
Actor : can an actor really be shy?
The camera : your best friend
Art direction and clothes : does Faye Dunaway really have the skirt taken in sixteen different places?
Shooting the movie : at last!
Rushes : the agony and the ecstasy
The cutting room : alone at last
The sound of music : the sound of sound
The mix : the only dull part of moviemaking
The answer print : here comes the baby
The studio : was it all for this?
Why does a director choose a particular script? What must he or she do to keep actors fresh and truthful through take after take of a single scene? How do you stage a shoot-out -- 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 honchoes happy? For this book, director Sidney Lumet, provides a memoir and guide to the art, craft, and business of the motion picture. Drawing on decades of experience on movies that range from Long Day's Journey Into Night to Network and The Verdict -- and with such stars as Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Al Pacino -- Lumet explains how labor and split-second decisions can result in hours of screen magic
