    Peter Bogdanovich è stato uno storico del cinema, regista, sceneggiatore, attore e critico americano. È emerso come figura chiave durante l'era del New Hollywood, un movimento noto per il suo approccio innovativo alla cinematografia. Il suo lavoro rifletteva spesso un profondo apprezzamento per il cinema classico ed esplorava temi di nostalgia e del passato americano. Lo stile distintivo di Bogdanovich era caratterizzato dalla sua riverenza per il cinema di genere e dalla sua capacità di ricontestualizzarlo.

    • "Peter Bogdanovich, known primarily as a director, film historian and critic, has been working with professional actors all his life." "Now, in his new book, Who the Hell's in It, Bogdanovich draws upon a lifetime of experience, observation and understanding of the art to write about the actors he came to know along the way; actors he admired from afar; actors he worked with, directed, befriended." "Bogdanovich captures - in their words and his - their work, their individual styles, what made them who they were, what gave them their appeal and why they've continued to be America's iconic actors."--BOOK JACKET.

      Peter Bogdanovich, director, screenwriter, actor and critic, interviews sixteen legendary directors of the first hundred years of film - from Allan Dwan and Raoul Walsh to Leo McCarey, Alfred Hitchcock and Sidney Lumet. The conversations brought together in this book give us a history of the movies. They are the stories of pioneers who came to the picture business from many worlds. Some were adventurers (running away to sea; joining Pancho Villa) before finding their place in the movies. Some were football stars, some electrical engineers, lawyers, auto mechanics, airplane designers. Some were trained in silent movies (Dwan, Walsh, Lang, von Sternberg, Hitchcock). Many of them were men who lived to the hilt and brought to their work the residue of their earlier experiences.
