Straight from the horse's mouth

"Straight from the Horse's Mouth provides a fascinating, firsthand account of the life and times of Ronald Neame, who began his career as assistant cameraman on Hitchcock's first talkie, Blackmail, and went on to direct Maggie Smith, Judy Garland, Walter Matthau, and other well-known actors. It includes tales of the on- and off-the-set antics of comedian George Formby, Neame's first-person account of working with Noel Coward and David Lean, and many other equally exciting episodes in the life of this filmmaker."--BOOK JACKET.
