“This is a terrific read. It’s full of interesting information about classic films, down to casting choices and anecdotes about actors and directors - in addition, there’s some wonderful critiquing of movies we’ve come to love, but the point of view here is unique. Connie Corcoran Wilson provides that uniqueness with her own brand of wit and style. If you grew up in the 70s or loved the movies that sprung from this decade, don’t miss out! Pick up a copy of this today!” -
