An Interesting Look At The Making Of The Movie

This book details the behind the scenes look at the making of Dick Tracy. IT shows how Warren Beatty came up with the idea to take the comic strip and transfer it to the big screen. How he had to make the Universal Studios backlot look like a comic strip world, and the intense casting and choreography that came with the job. The intriguing special and visual effects and just how difficult it was to come up with some of the costumes and film some of the effects shots. It was a very long drawn out process for everyone involved, but it paid off very well in the end as the film became one of the top box-office grossing films of 1990. This book is definitely interesting to read especially if you're into wanting to know how movies are made and the techniques used. This book covers all the bases, and I give it an A+!!!
