About this Item
Description:
[nice tight copy, minor edgewear to covers, very slight fading at the spine]. Mass Market PB (B&W photographs) Actor Balaban (who played Francois Truffaut's interpreter in the film) fortuitously kept a diary, "the only on the spot account of both the making of the movie and, more importantly, the off-screen lives of the people involved in this fantastic project." It begins with the account of his audition on March 24, 1976, in which he comments on how all the creative principals he met that day -- Steven Spielberg, producer Julia Phillips, star Richard Dreyfuss -- all "looked very young," and how it dawned on him "that Columbia Pictures has just given these very young-looking people twelve million dollars [!] to make a movie." Spielberg provided the book's Introduction. Seller Inventory # 28871
