An in-depth breakdown of the origins, productions, and receptions of each 1967 Oscar nominee. I found it unputdownable. Would love to see a TV adaptation of this, so many stories. Rex Harrison sounds he was a real monster.
It took me almost a year to finish it. The first part of the book was very good and exciting; it told us how the filmmakers were struggling to make their movies. After that, it got filled up with a lot of details that were only good when it came to a movie like Bonnie and Clyde or when it concerned a specific individual like Sidney Poitier, Dustin Hoffman, Hal Ashby, or Rex Harrison's wife.
