Making movies [Book] / Sidney Lumet. 1st Vintage books ed. New York : Vintage Books, 1996. x, 220 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm. Originally published: New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 1995. 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. 20210126.
