Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Photographs and drawings (illustrator). First U. S. Edition. Anatomy of the Movies is a comprehensive and entertaining look at the inner workings of the world's most remarkable industry. Alive with startling facts and witty anecdotes, it examines every aspect of the fascinating process by which ideas are translated into feature films: the development deal, signing the stars, script satisfaction, pre-production, principal photography, special effects, stunts, dubbing and editing, marketing, and release. Anatomy of the Movies is about people: the moguls, producers, directors, stars, screenwriters, cameramen, agents, and marketing men. This volume takes a candid look at their roles within the industry, their power, their money, their feelings, their triumphs, and their frustrations. Anatomy of the Movies is also about the movies themselves. The nine classic movie genres-westerns, thrillers, romance, comedy, musicals, horror, science fiction, action-adventure, and drama-are examined in detail, with attention focused on those movies which have been box-office successes. An inflation-adjusted list of all-time boxoffice hits reveals, for the first time, which movies have really been most successful. There are many surprises-for example, contrary to popular belief, Star Wars is not the most successful film of all time. Written by leading film journalists and critics, and with contributions from major figures within the industry-Robert Evans, Donald Sutherland, Martin Scorsese, Robert Towne, and Lorenzo Semple, ]r.-Anatomy of the Movies draws readers into the highly charged world of film in a manner that is at once incisive, funny, and often moving.THE MONEY AND THE POWER - Who owns the industry? Who makes the decisions? How much do the superstars earn? The multimillion-dollar deals. The studios' profits and losses. THE PEOPLE - The moguls, stars, directors, producers, screenwriters, cameramen, agents, marketing men: their skills, attitudes, and true feelings about the industry and themselves. THE CRAFT - The development deal, signing the stars, script satisfaction, pre-production, principal photography, special effects, music, dubbing and editing, marketing, and release. THE MOVIES - The history of success in every movie genre: westerns, thrillers, romance, comedy, musicals, horror, science fiction, action adventure, drama. Plus the great flops of all time, and comprehensive inflation-adjusted lists of the all-time hits in every genre. Anatomy of the Movies is written by leading film journalists and critics, and includes contributions from Robert Evans, Donald Sutherland, Martin Scorsese, Robert Towne, and Lorenzo Semple, Jr. More than 700 illustrations.
