From Library Journal
As a screenwriter, producer, and director, Corman is responsible for making many of the most god-awful?but profitable?stinkers in cinematic history. Still, he launched the careers of many other, more talented artists, e.g., Jack Nicholson, Robert DeNiro, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Coppola, and where would Mystery Science Theater be without him? Here he reveals the secrets of his quite remarkable career in a "disarmingly modest fashion" (LJ 5/1/90). A solid volume for all film collections.

This book reads like one of Corman's movies plays out: fast, to the point, and when the monster's dead, the movie (or book) is over. There's not a lot of brooding, introspective material. (Mr. Corman muses some on why he never "sold out" to the majors and also why the European community has accorded him more respect, but these are fortunately brief segments.)
In the meantime the reader is treated to many of the adventures Corman and his ensemble braved to make his movies, some insights on how to squeeze the most out of a small budget, and a refreshingly forthright attitude about money and movies.
The book could stand an update, as Mr. C has been busy in the past decade, but it's still a worthwhile read as is.

Based on this memoir, Corman isn't exactly what you would call modest. But then, his achievements speak for themselves, so his opinion of himself isn't inflated, either. This is a tremendously entertaining book, well worth reading for anyone who enjoys movies of any kind. Corman isn't just the smartest filmmaker in Hollywood -- he might just be the best.

It is obvious from this book that Roger Corman is a true movie producer. He makes movies because he loves them. Many filmmakers such as Scorsese, Ron Howard, Coppolla, etc. owe their careers to this guy who has turned the B movie into an art form. I am a filmmaker, and I highly recommend this book for anyone making films or who loves the magic behind Hollywood.
