  • Andre DeToth Takes No Prisoners - A fun read for everyone
Even if you aren't an aspiring director - or in the movie industry - this is a fun read. Interview format books can be tedious and boring, but not this one. De Toth was one of the greats in his profession, though not as famous as some of his lesser talented peers. He has stuff he wants to get off his chest - about himself and others - and he's not worried about what people think. This interview is entertaining, humorous, and contains practical advice for people on other pathways through life. Anthony Slide does a great job interviewing him -- he pushes De Toth's buttons and De Toth gives him a hard time - and they're both loving every minute of it. ... show more

  • Setting the Record Straight
A READER from New York DIDN'T read. First I suggest reading Andre de Toth's amazing autobiography, FRAGMENTS - Portraits from the Inside (Faber and Faber, 1994). Having known de Toth since 1972, I can certify that he had a great deal of respect for the book's interviewer/editor Anthony Slide, or he wouldn't have given him his most prized possession, time. Slide did his homework and spent enough time with de Toth to cover de Toth's films in detail. This was an amazing achievement since de Toth rarely wanted to discuss past, being a "now" and "future" man. The "Herr future director" references throughout were to the READER, the aspiring director to whom the book was largely aimed. When one reads BOTH books, one gets a huge impression of this amazing man's life, and the world as he experienced it. My only dissatisfaction with both books is the relative paucity of photos. De Toth was a director of IMAGES, and there aren't enough. Otherwise, between these books, you'll have an experience few film-maker books have ever delivered. ... show more
