Two veteran film critics and authors of Hollywood Dynasties ( LJ 8/84) offer a fascinating account of events surrounding the infamous accident on the set of Twilight Zone : The Movie that killed actor Vic Morrow and two children in 1982. In an industry where egomania and arrogance are apparently the norm, this case is extreme. The authors portray boy-wonder producers and directors John Landis and Steven Spielberg especially negatively. Landis, who used the children for illegal night filming, and four others, were tried on criminal charges and found innocent. Reprimanded by the Directors Guild for unprofessional conduct, Landis continues to work regularly in Hollywood. Recommended for film collections and where interest warrants. Photos not seen. A.J.
