Book Details
Table of Contents

Under Fire. A documentary on Grenada titled "The Future is Coming Towards Us."
The Industry: Risky Business. Can movies be sold like soap? With Madison Avenue writing the script, Hollywood is betting the answer is yes.
Dialogue on Film: John Huston. The veteran writer-director reflects on a tumultuous half century in film, getting his way with actors, and his experiments with color.
It's All Right, Jack. The last decade has been an uneasy ride for Jack Nicholson - great roles have come less often, success as a director has eluded him - yet he remains the most formidable talent of his generation.
Saints and Savages. Films like "Under Fire," "Beyond the Limit" and "The Year of Living Dangerously" portray a one-dimensional Third World where the natives pull liberal heartstrings - until they get restless.
Jonathan Demme on the Line. He apprenticed in Roger Corman's exploitation factory, but has evolved into a compassionate observer of the Americana with films like "Melvin and Howard" and, now, "Swing Shift."
Where the Girls Are. What do you do after you've had your consciousness raised? A new generation of filmmakers are taking up where their older sisters left off.
