This is a fascinating history of the film industry of the 1970s, often referred to as “New Hollywood.” It focuses on directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and others who introduced the kind of films that appealed to audiences at the time, films about criminals and drugs with anti-authority content. I assure you that the book IS GOOD! Thanks. If you have any interest in Film, the ‘60’s, or the ‘70’s, you’ll devour this book. Not to mention, so many of the stories were told by the actors & filmmakers, themselves. One reviewer on Audible stated that since a number of filmmakers and actors dismissed the book as having printed outright lies, that the stories should be taken with a grain of salt-Hogwash! It’s far more likely that the people involved are simply embarrassed by their own behavior…To date, since 1999, Peter Biskind hasn’t been sued by ANYONE featured in the book for slander, or defamation of character for his egregious “outright lies.” That’s a very good indication that Biskind wasn’t making stuff up.

I’d been a film buff already since I was a kid, and the stories I read in this book, by turns made my jaw drop, as well as made me laugh till I had tears in my eyes. I read it upon its publication in 1999 as a 20 year old student in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was on Audible earlier and saw several bad reviews for this book.
