How I Made A Hundred Movies In Hollywood and never lost a dime

I really loved this book. It is well written, with some interesting snippets from famous faces Corman worked with over his career. These snippets often give a funny and contradictory viewpoint to that put forward in the main text. I had never heard of Corman before reading the book, I simply bought it because of the title. I feel very lucky to have tripped over a real gem.

Great example for indie film makers. It's become my bible! I have read this a few times now with great stories on how he made his movies.

Pretty damn entertaining.. good insights into the movie world.. Corman is a pretty shrewd guy... great behind-the-scenes info for movie buffs. Inspiring.

Great book.....for any film fan............extraordinary and important character in film history. Shows up much of the bland product and accountant led fodder prevalent today in cinema.

Great book about good and bad movie making by a legendary Roger Corman.

If you're interested in the process, and the business, of making films, then this is a book for you. Corman has worked with many of the great names of modern cinema before they made it.Scorcese, Jack Nicholson, Coppola, Bogdanovich, Jonathan Demme, etc., etc. They contribute testimony to the extent Corman's pragmatic approach to the monster task of making a film informed and educated them in their own careers. Some amusing anecdotes, and masses of information about many many films you may never have seen - "Attack of the Crab Monsters", anyone?

I just finished the book in a couple of days. This book is not just well written, personal or intreaging. It is a MUST for all of us wannbe filmmakers to read. By reading this book I was taken on a three decades long rollercoaster journey of an outlow into hollywood. This man's life, work and influence around the world is incredible. He did it all, directing, producing, distributing, writing,... by creating his own possibilities. He never asked anybody for anything and never complained of anything. Money nor lack of time stopped him to make films. Djee this is quiet a lesson. Now we don't have any excuse. WRITE A SCRIPT, GAT A CAMERA AND PHONE SOME PEOPLE AND GET STARTED.Thank you mister Corman.

good book
