About this title: This book attempts to correct the distortions, for the silent era was the richest in the cinema's history. The author has tried to recapture the spirit of era through the words of those who created it. Linking chapters provide a context for the interviews has led to gaps, and I cannot claim that his book is definitive.

"One of the most inspiring books regarding the process of making films. The interviews are candid and make direct connections with all of the pioneers of the silent film era. I love it when Joseph Von Sternberg tells him to meet on a set in London in lieu of giving an interview to teach how he lit Marlene Dietrich. You'll want to make films after reading."
