You’ll enjoy this book. I did.
*Sir Michael Caine*
This book is packed with hilarious stories... Deeley was not a
run-of-the-mill producer churning out crap; he carefully nurtured
engrossing films, some which are now regarded as classics. That
makes this book a great read for anyone interested in the film
business.
*Janet Street-Porter*
Colourful accounts of dealings with film-makers reflect his
enthusiasm for quirky commercial cinema combined with a
bulldog-like gusto for business warfare... The Blade Runner
chapters are particularly illuminating and demonstrate Deeley’s
considerable producing skills... For lovers of books about our
mysterious, impenetrable world, this is a must.
This is a fascinating, British producer’s insider view of the movie
business.
