3.0
Though I had already read about quite of the few films in this book, Taylor still brought some fresh insight into his examination. It seemed fair and balanced. He went out of his way to stress the immense complexity of filmmaking and didn't play the blame game. Most of the productions were plagued by a series of misfortunes--some self-generated, many external, most with bad timing. This wasn't dry at all. Taylor's voice is engaging and I really liked how he wove other stories (of vanity, of neglect, of bad luck, of passionate dreamers and inventors and madmen) into each chapter. It was a good read.
