About this title: Director Sidney Lumet's guide to the art of making movies begins in unlikely surroundings: the Ukrainian National Home on Second Avenue in New York City. Explaining how the antiquated and unprepossessing but very spacious ballroom is his favored venue for rehearsing a film in preproduction, Lumet kick-starts an enthralling, sequential trip through the movie-making process. Published in 1995, Lumet draws on his 40 years in the business to delineate how a film gets made, from the initial spark of an idea to the test screenings and promotion that precede a first encounter with the general public ...

"An incredible read for anyone interested at all in the magic of the cinema, even if your participation only goes as far as watching movies. There is never a dull moment in the book, and instead of a patronizing tone, Lumet speaks in a down-to-earth one. He's bold and honest, and he isn't afraid to praise someone or trash someone, even if that someone is himself. By using examples drawn from his own path as a filmmaker he allows us to see his lessons in full detail, and his stories are always extremely interesting (my favorite involves a simple Marlon Brando scene which ended up eating away dozens of takes). Highly recommended to anyone remotely interested in the filmmaking process."
"An insightful and informative guide to the process of film-making by the oldest of old hands. Even if you've been on many sets, you'll still find something to learn. (In my case, I learned a great deal.) At times, the detail can be a bit much, but Lumet is a lively and wry host. Favorite line: "Movies are very powerful. You'd better have a lot to say if you want to run over two hours. I didn't feel that 'Shindler's List' was one moment too long. But 'Fried Green Tomatoes?'""
