The Great Professor,
By Mario (São Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The total film-maker (Hardcover)
This book was published in 1971 and, since then, several other books tried to teach young film-makers how to make a movie. Well, some people say that filmmaking changed in 30 years, you now have digital cameras and digital sound, you have amazing special effects, but the basic is all in the book. And, most important: If you are a young film-maker, you won't work with special effects and a million-dollar budget. Jerry Lewis put everything on the book: The pre-production, budget, the filming itself, homework, and the pos-production, with editing and mixing. And distribution. But the book is really how to relate with the people that you are working with, actors and crew. If you have ever been in a set, you know how hard it can be. Jerry Lewis gives us advice. Maybe you don't follow all of his advices but, even so, you have to think about. What he says makes sense. And that is more than you can say about most of the men who writes about filmmaking.

Woooooahhh Lady! Buy Jerry's book!,
By indycine (Hollywood CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Total Film-Maker. (Hardcover)
Without doubt, this is the best book on movie Directing I have ever read. I have hundreds of film books, and I give Jerry's book my highest recommendation. Nobody else even comes close, but a great second choice would be my friend Mark Travis's "Director's Journey." (At least until my book is out.)
If you're serious about getting great performances from Actors for your movie, on any size budget, and how to make your movie crew run faster and jump higher, find Jerry's book, and read it. Don't waste any time! When I find a copy of this book, I buy it, to give to deserving film friends. Google me and tell me why you deserve one. Either hardbound or the paperback editions, buy Jerry's book!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Total Film-Maker. (Hardcover)
Great book! Too bad they don't publish it anymore, but even though the book is about 40 years old, I got it like new from Amazon. Totally worth it!
