΄A proper literary belter΄ - THE TIMES

΄Affectionate and endlessly entertaining΄ - RICHARD OSMAN

An ambitious novel about the making of a colossal, star-studded action movie worth millions of dollars, and the humble comic that inspired it. Spanning eighty years and culminating with the premiere of a film, we encounter a series of characters, including a weary soldier, a young boy with artistic talent, an inspired and eccentric director, a pretentious rising star, and a tireless production assistant, as well as numerous members of the film crew who together create the magic of Hollywood.

Funny, touching, and wonderfully thoughtful, The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece offers an insider's look at the immense efforts required to make a film. At the same time, it is a reflection on the past and present of America, as well as the world of entertainment and the real world we all live in.
