Christopher Beach is a film scholar and author of several books on film and literature, including Class, Language, and American Film Comedy and The Films of Hal Ashby. He was named an Academy Film Scholar by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for A Hidden History of Film Style: Cinematographers, Directors, and the Collaborative Process.

Especially interesting are his thoughts on the controversies surrounding Brooke Shields-starrer Pretty Baby and the disastrous production of 1984's Crackers. Throughout Malle speaks with candor and wisdom.--Christopher Schobert "The Film Stage"
