Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201905576 Beginning in 1960, with John Wayne's The Alamo and Otto Preminger's Exodus , still photographer Goldman has taken pictures on the sets of nearly 70 films. Assembled here are not the standard publicity shots one sees in newspapers and magazines, but the candid, much more revealing glimpses of the process of making movies. Goldman does supply a text of sorts, but he is much more eloquent with a camera. There are nearly 200 black-and-white photographs, all of them testimony to the strange and wonderful mixture of boredom and excitement that pervades the set of any film. Filled with energy and creativity that moviemakers pour into their craft. Goldman shares his experiences and insights into the workings of a major film production. Director Steven Spielberg sitting on top of the giant great white from the Jaws movie, John Wayne resting by a chair in the movie The Alamo in his furskin hat, Anthony Quinn training in Central Park, Warren Beatty, Michael Caine, James Garner, Robin Williams and many others.
