You’ll enjoy this bookI did. -- Sir Michael Caine
This book is packed with hilarious stories... Deeley was not a run-of-the-mill producer churning out crap; he carefully nurtured engrossing films, some which are now regarded as classics. That makes this book a great read for anyone interested in the film business. -- Janet Street-Porter

The Blade Runner chapters are particularly illuminating and demonstrate Deeley’s considerable producing skills... For lovers of books about our mysterious, impenetrable world, this is a must.
This is a fascinating, British producer’s insider view of the movie business.
