Book review – “The Producers”

Interesting collection of profiles of various film producers. Makes the mistake of incorporating quotes into prose instead of letting the producers speak in their own words. I knew the stuff involving Dino de Laurentiis, wasn’t aware of how difficult Michael Douglas’ struggles as producer were. Other producers included Andrew MacDonald, Jeremy Thomas.
The most interesting bit was the French guy who runs a massive cinema campaign and produced the three colours trilogy – a former revolutionary and radical turned capitalist, but one with a real cultural agenda. I’d never heard of him and found it fascinating.
