Ridgeway (Reggie) Callow began his film career in the early 1930s
and for four decades worked as an assistant director on some of the
most memorable films in Hollywood history. In the early 1970s, over
a period of several months, film historian Rudy Behlmer conducted
interviews with Callow, and the result is this edited version of
many hours of relatively informal conversations recorded between
the two men. In these extracts, Callow recounts what it was like to
work on such celebrated films as Gone with the Wind, Rebecca,
Mutiny on the Bounty, and The Sound of Music, recalling the work of
filmmakers Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hughes, David O. Selznick,
Michael Curtiz, John Huston, Carol Reed, Lewis Milestone, and
Robert Wise. Callow also provides first-hand knowledge and inside
information about stars of the period, including Clark Gable,
Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Grace Kelly, James Cagney,
Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, Marlon Brando, Julie Andrews, and
others. Callow does not romanticize the glamour of Hollywood or
echo carefully nurtured myths of legendary pioneer creative figures
but rather recounts the workaday world of film business with
revelations about major productions and personalities.
