A Fascinating Career,
By
This review is from: Altman on Altman (Paperback)
When I thought of Robert Altman before reading this book, I typically thought of him as a "Seventies" director who had had a few hits in recent years.
This book shows how limited that view of Altman was. It is a wide-ranging interview that covers Altman's career from his stint as an extra in "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (!!!) to directing "The Company." He talks about his involvement with the classic TV series "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "Combat" as well as directing Broadway plays and a couple operas. And, of course, he talks about his films, the classics that everyone remembers and those that got buried by the critics. From it all, Altman emerges as a fascinating character who pursued his own vision and took advantage of changes in the media to be relatively successful. Essential reading for anyone interested in recent American film. |
