In this unique collection of interviews, Robert Aldrich (1918-1983) tells fascinating stories of making movie pictures with such film legends as Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Jack Palance, Robert Mitchum, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, James Stewart, Charles Bronson, and Burt Reynolds Aldrich talks bluntly, sometimes ferociously, about struggling to make movies that accented his uncompromising view of life, and much more. Aldrich redefined genres and undercut the conventions they portrayed. Kiss Me Deadly transformed the detective film…Vera Cruz unveiled corruption…The Dirty Dozen and Twilight’s Last Gleaming depicted the ambiguous underbelly of war…Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte shaped horror films into psychological studies.
