Review

"Gavin Lambert's "On Cukor" provides the perfect conjunction of author and subject. The author of "The Slide Area" and "Inside Daisy Clover" has interviewed the director of "The Philadelphia Story" and "A Star is Born," interspersing Cukor's own comments with shrewdly illuminating remarks of his own. The result is very far from being a conventional "movie interview" book. It is an act of Boswellian dedication by a graceful and witty writer in honor of an equally graceful and witty filmmaker."--the "New York Times Book Review" "It is above all about a professional by a professional. To hear Cukor speak of his craft is refreshing and even challenging . . . Lambert has portrayed the man in his setting, captured the tonalities of his voice, has not limited himself to questions, establishing the kind of dramatic tension which Cukor himself appreciated and handled . . . There will be other studies of George Cukor but Lambert's will not be supplanted."--"Los Angeles Times"
