by Patrick McGilligan (Author)
An exciting new collection of interviews with important screen artists.
The acclaimed biographer of Robert Altman, George Cukor, Alfred Hitchcock, Clint Eastwood, Oscar Micheaux and other major film figures, Patrick McGilligan is also a leading oral historian of film. His Backstory series devoted to screenwriters and Tender Comrades, focusing on blacklist survivors, helped set the standard for interview books.
Still Film Crazy (After All These Years) is an informal sequel to Film Crazy, his earlier collection featuring some of the most famous names of the Golden Age. Spanning fifty years of reportage, these interviews date back to the 1970s, and include Ken Russell, Ralph Bakshi, Peter Weir and Oliver Stone, forgotten blacklist veterans, Clint Eastwood in his prime, a rare encounter with the star of Oscar Micheaux's last "race picture," several international auteurs, and a special section on French cinema, its love affair with Hollywood, and its own greatest films and filmmakers.
