"This is a book for people who like to go to the movies, who like to settle back in their seats, waiting for the theater to darken so that they may laugh or cry as the magic begins to happen on the screen. Most of this book consists of conversations with Peter Bogdanovich. He agreed to talk to me about the films he has made and his thoughts about movies - the people who make them, the people who go to them, the people who criticize them. He talks about movies, growing excited when he remembers a favorite quotation by a director he admires, slumping into his chair in boredom when asked whether he feels movies are an art form. Peter Bogdanovich is a fascinating man, and this book is an invitation to join in the conversations. They may tell you a great deal about the history of movies, how movies are made, how a particular director works, but they are not lectures. They are visits, full of stories, remembrances, recreations of memorable scenes. " ... Scores of b/w photos, many of them movie stills. .
