Pictures at a Revolution

It took me almost a year to finish it. The first part of the book was very good and exciting; it told us how the filmmakers were struggling to make their movies. After that, it got filled up with a lot of details that were only good when it came to a movie like Bonnie and Clyde or when it concerned a specific individual like Sidney Poitier, Dustin Hoffman, Hal Ashby, or Rex Harrison's wife.

An in-depth breakdown of the origins, productions, and receptions of each 1967 Oscar nominee. I found it unputdownable. Would love to see a TV adaptation of this, so many stories. Rex Harrison sounds he was a real monster.

Fantastic account of the five movies nominated for Best Picture in 1968. How does The Graduate, Bonnie and Clyde, In the Heat of the Night and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner all get nominated in the same year as Doctor Dolittle?
