This is a moving, star-filled account of one of Hollywood s true
golden ages as told by a man in the middle of it all. Walter
Mirisch s company has produced some of the most entertaining and
enduring classics in film history, including West Side Story, Some
Like It Hot, In the Heat of the Night, and The Magnificent Seven.
His work has led to 87 Academy Award nominations and 28 Oscars.
Richly illustrated with rare photographs from his personal
collection, I Thought We Were Making Movies, Not History reveals
Mirisch s own experience of Hollywood and tells the stories of the
stars emerging and established who appeared in his films, including
Natalie Wood, John Wayne, Peter Sellers, Sidney Poitier, Steve
McQueen, Marilyn Monroe, and many others. With hard-won insight and
gentle humor, Mirisch recounts how he witnessed the end of the
studio system, the development of independent production, and the
rise and fall of some of Hollywood s most gifted (and notorious)
cultural icons. A producer with a passion for creative excellence,
he offers insights into his innovative filmmaking process,
revealing a rare ingenuity for placating the demands of auteur
directors, weak-kneed studio executives, and troubled screen
sirens. From his early start as a movie theater usher to the
presentation of such masterpieces as The Apartment, Fiddler on the
Roof, and The Great Escape, Mirisch tells the inspiring life story
of his climb to the highest echelon of the American film industry.
This book assures Mirisch s legacy as Elmore Leonard puts it as one
of the good guys. Best Books for Special Interests, selected by the
