Editor reviews

Robert Altman and Martin Scorsese are just two of the revered directors profiled in Robert J. Emery's revelatory The Directors: Take Three. An award-winning author and screenwriter in his own right, Emery guides the listener through these masters' formative years, illuminates their artistic processes, and offers humorous behind-the-scenes anecdotes from their major and minor works.

The expansive, cinematic quality of Steven Menasche's voice suits the subject matter perfectly, and he adroitly captures the brilliant, eccentric, and colorful nature of these legends of cinema.
