Reviews

"By means of his carefully planned, intelligent interview technique, Dixon has focused upon both 'sung' and 'unsung' heroes. . . . Unlike other interviewers, he has not only sought out neglected characters but has asked them pertinent questions relating to their contributions to cinema. This collection of essays is an important complement to Dixon's other work."--Tony Williams, coeditor (with Rocco Fumento) of Jack London's The Sea Wolf: A Screenplay
