Book review - "How I Made One Hundred Movies and Never Lost a Dime" by Roger Corman

A delightful memoir from the world's most famous low budget filmmaker, full of great anecdotes and tips on filmmaking. Corman's words are interspersed with comments from other people who've worked with him such as Jack Nicholson which does feel a bit odd at times - like he's insecure. It's his memoirs he shouldn't be! Focus is more on his 50s and 60s work then a bit on New World. Doesn't talk much about his 80s stuff - I guess mostly because not many famous movies and/or filmmakers have come out of that period. But very much worth reading.
