In 1970, an LA Times headline called Monte Hellman ""Hollywood's
Best Kept Secret."" More than thirty years later, Hellman and his
work are still secrets, his genius recognized only by a small but
passionate fan base - folks willing to slip into dark alleys to
purchase old copies of his film Back Door to Hell. This work is a
biography of Hellman and an extensive study of his films and films
he has worked on, including The Wild Ride, The Intruder, Ski Troop
Attack, Creature from the Haunted Sea, Last Woman on Earth, The
Terror, Dementia 13, Bus Riley's Back in Town, Flight to Fury,
Beach Ball, and lguana, to name just a few. It covers his youth
(when he directed his first theatrical performance at the age of
ten), his development as a stage actor and director, his break into
the film industry after receiving the screenplay for Beast from
Haunted Cave, and his involvement with other films and filmmakers.
Attention is focused on the hallmarks of Hellman's work, including
his dominant themes; his characters, who always seem to be involved
in undefined or questionable activity; and his fusion of form and
content to such a degree that they become inseparable.
