Beschreibungen
This book provides a fascinating survey of the career of one of Hollywood's great mavericks. In his memoir
Fragments, Andre de Toth took his readers on a roller coaster ride through his life. He gave scant mention to his film work. In
De Toth on De Toth, he redresses the balance and expounds - in his own exhuberant style - on his film-making career. The cast of characters includes his wife - the luminous Veronica Lake - as well as stars such as Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, David Niven, Vincent Price, Dick Powell, and a whole host of others in the Hollywood firmament. De Toth speaks of his work on
Lawrence of Arabia and on
Superman, as well as revealing how a one-eyed director could make the 3-D masterpiece,
House of Wax.
