About this listen
Of course, there are the box-office disasters, which also have a place in his fascinating memoir, a pull-no-punches account of financial and political maneuvering, of creativity stymied, and of working with the industry's brightest star power.
An eyewitness to Hollywood history in the making, Medavoy gives a powerful and poignant view of the past and future of a world he knows intimately.

Interesting
I like Hollywood gossip. And this had it all.
Takes you to another world of showbiz and glamour.
Great for listening in the car when you are on a long journey.

Fascinating time capsule of 70s to 00 movie making
I really enjoyed the book lots of details about movies I know and love and those I hate. Nice information on talent behind and in front of the camera. Although feel sure some of the characters discussed would have a different side of the same events. Highly recommend

Entertaining but unfocused
Well read and fascinating on the one hand. But also very scattershot and repetitive, it could have used a stronger copy editor.

Great detail on how Hollywood worked from the 1970s to 2000s.
This book is really well read and provides great detail on how Hollywood worked from the 1970s to the 2000s. I have had a number of these books and it is interesting to see how they interrelate for instance what Mike Medavoy may say about Peter Gruber and vice versa – it’s fascinating. I first read this book many years ago when it was first published so this is a reread and I have to say I enjoyed it even more. I have never really quite understood the relationship between producer Agent director et cetera and this book really spells it out. It’s not a book but it is an honest book from the office perspective.Recommend it.
