Summary: 5 Stars
Mark Harris has done us a service in puting 1967 and '68 into perspective vis a vis American cinema. So much so in fact, and as a result of his fluid writing, that I am looking for other books that he has written. To this day, I remember seeing the poster of The Graduate at the age of 12 (and then subsequently seeing the film). The book gives an insightful appraisal of how the five films were originated and finally produced / distributed, with the culmination of the Oscar awards of 1968 when In the Heat of the Night won best film. A great book about a pivotal time in the US as apparaised by a very part-time film buff.
