Book review - "Magic Time: My Life in Hollywood" by Hawk Koch (2019)

Decent memoir by a highly respected member of Hollywood. Koch was the son of Howard Koch, a noted producer and briefly head of Paramount; Koch Jr became an assistant director and was good at it; he eventually became producer. He seems to be more of a line producer type.

He's quite discrete - he talks about palling around with Robert Redford for instance without dishing much dirt. He had a few wonky marriages. I wish there was more dirt. But it's entertaining.
