* How did Leonardo Di Caprio become a hero on The Beach? - Why would the droids lose control in Star Wars? - Was there a curse on The Exorcist? - How did Harrison Ford's quick-thinking profit Raiders Of The Lost Ark? From the earliest black-and-white silent moves to the most recent big-screen blockbusters, the history of film-making is littered with remarkable true tales of the unexpected. Including disastrous stunts, star temperaments, eccentric animals, Hollywood rivalries, unexplained deaths, casting coups and bizarre locations, this entertaining volume covers over 100 years of cinema history.
Quentin Falk, distinguished film critic of the Sunday Mirror and editor of the BAFTA magazine, Academy, reveals an astonishing collection of strange but true accounts ranging from bizarre tales of actors' shenanigans on film sets to unusual behind-the-scenes stories from over 300 films.
