Synopsis
An account of the Hollywood filmmaking scene of the 1970s. In the era before blockbusters like JAWS and STAR WARS made Hollywood studios focus on making huge movies with wide appeal, directors were treated like superstars, and given free reign to indulge themselves, creatively and otherwise. Directors like Peter Bogdanovich, William Friedkin, and Hal Ashby thrived during this era, but their careers suffered greatly due to an excess of drugs, sex, money, and hubris. Only Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola were able to continue their success in subsequent decades.

Industry Reviews
"...thoughtful, gossipy and altogether mesmerizing."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (05/06/1998)

"Told in the rambling style of some half-drunk after-dinner raconteur, the book has a heady tone and a wandering, sometimes sloppy structure. Weaving together hundreds of firsthand accounts, Biskind, a former editor at Premiere and American Film magazines, is a magician at prying revealing yarns and juicy quotes out of his subjects."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Brian M. Gunn (05/10/1998)

"...there is an enormous amount of new material here, and the book's value lies in its comprehensive picture of hubris and Schadenfreude, of adulation and addiction, of talented men absolutely corrupted by absolute freedom."
Beattie
