'What I Really Want to Do is Produce -': Top Producers Talk Movies & Money

"Helen de Winter, herself an intrepid young producer, set out to explore the broader meaning of the profession in conversation with some of the most successful names in the business. She discovered a job that is both hair-raising and hair-tearing, that obeys no rules and defies description, and that, on any given assignment, might require the combined skills of a wheeler-dealer, a diplomat, a stern but doting parent, and a clinical psychiatrist. De Winter met the men and women responsible for The Lord of the Rings and Bridget Jones's Diary, Terminator 3 and Brokeback Mountain, Austin Powers and Reservoir Dogs, The Constant Gardener and My Big Fat Greek Wedding."--BOOK JACKET.
