5.0 out of 5 stars Frankenheimer fans -- hello? Hello?, April 10, 2000

By	Joseph W. Smith III (Montoursville, PA United States) - See all my reviews

Frankenheimer is a hero of mine. I just loved "The Train," "The Manchurian Candidate" and "Seconds." ("Ronin" was pretty good, too!) This long-out-of-print book addresses F's work up through about 1970 or so -- that is, most of the films that are worthwhile (what happened to his talent in the seventies and eighties, anyway?)and does a superb job of piling on info about these little-known masterpieces. Loaded with cool trivia; did you know that the big spectacular wreck in "The Train" destroyed several cameras, and that the air-raid scene consisted of actually blowing up a real rail yard that the French govt. was planning to raze! Good luck tracking down a copy of this -- but it'll be worth the trouble if you love F as much as I do. (Let's just hope his next film is better than "Reindeer Games"!)
