Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"This is a partial autobiography, centering on Quintero's work with the Circle in the Square and his Broadway premier of "Long Day's Journey into Night," reported PW . "It is touching, in spots moving, and the reader soon comes to see why the sensitive and emotional director became such a superb interpreter of Eugene O'Neill."

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but Praise, November 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: If You Don't Dance They Beat You (Paperback)
The best book on acting/directing that I have ever read. Jose Quintero creates a moving picture of himself as man and artist as he tells the history of one of the most successful theaters of our time. He photographs, with words, some of the most successful actors of stage and screen including George C. Scott, Geraldine Page, Vivian Leigh, and Jason Robards. Please read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the great, August 8, 2009
This review is from: If You Don't Dance They Beat You (Paperback)
Jose Quintero knew theater like a brain surgeon. His work on particularly Eugene O'Neill works is legendary. This books is a must for actors. You can not be helped by Quintero any longer but this book will share some of his genius.
