This is one of Jon Lewis's "Breakthrough Books" on American Cinema. Lewis is the author of The New American Cinema and Whom God Wishes to Destroy . . . Francis Coppola and the New Hollywood.

Lewis tells us that the thirty-five interviews in this anthology--including Lionel Stander, Abram Polonsky, and Ring Lardner Jr.--provide a selective and seductive history that attends to careers lost to time. And as Lewis tells us, these interviews remind us that history consists of stories told by survivors.
