Yorkshire-born Ken Annakin was one of the greatest international
film directors. The last of the English directors to make it in the
international arena (others included Hitchcock and Lean), this
autobiography traces Annakin's career from his early British films
through to Hollywood. He has directed, written and produced over 50
feature films in Africa, India, Malaysia, Scandinavia, China,
Europe and the United States. His films include: Swiss Family
Robinson, The Longest Day, Battle of the Bulge, and Those
Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines. Annakin's autobiography
will include personal and revealing insights into many film
personalities, including:
Claudette Colbert
David Niven
Rod Steiger
Henry Fonda
Robert Ryan
Julie Christie
Charles Bronson
Peter Ustinov
Walt Disney
Edward G. Robinson
Raquel Welch
Tony Curtis
Olivia de Havilland
Charlton Heston
Robert Wagner
Peter Sellers
Darryl Zanuck
Terry Thomas
This book is forthright and pulls no punches; it will soon
become a classic among director's autobiographies. Detailing his
own frustrations with sex-mad producers, drug-addicted actors, and
unions which sabotaged multi-million dollar feature films, Annakin
details a career of dizzying highs and bleak lows. This master of
"family entertainment" also sounds a clarion call for a return to
motion pictures which are fun for the whole family. So You Wanna Be
A Director? is an entertaining and witty travelogue, as well as an
important document of film history.
