Now in Paperback! Ronald Neame's autobiography takes its title from
one of his best-loved films, The Horse's Mouth (1958), starring
Alec Guinness. In an informative and entertaining style, Neame
discusses the making of that film, along with several others,
including In Which We Serve, Blithe Spirit, Brief Encounter, Great
Expectations, Tunes of Glory, I Could Go on Singing, The Prime of
Miss Jean Brodie, Scrooge, The Poseidon Adventure, and Hopscotch.
Straight from the Horse's Mouth provides a fascinating, first-hand
account of a unique filmmaker, who began his career as assistant
cameraman on Hitchcock's first talkie, Blackmail, and went on to
direct Maggie Smith, Judy Garland, Walter Matthau, and many other
prominent performers. The book includes tales of the
on-and-off-the-set antics of comedian George Formby, and original
accounts of his experiences working with Noel Coward and David
Lean. This is not simply an autobiography, but rather a history of
British cinema from the 1920s through the 1960s, and Hollywood
cinema from the 1960s through the present. Aside from Neame's own
writing, the book contains original commentary by many of his
contemporaries and associates including Alec Guinness, Andrew Lloyd
Webber, Shirley MacLaine, Walter Matthau, John Mills and Shelley
Winters. Includes more than 40 photos!
