Interesting Book!

The only problem for me was he sounded like he recorded it in the bathroom.

You literally become privy to years of memos.

Though the audio could be cleaned up a bit, you have years worth of memos read to you that are to and from one of the greatest members of the Hollywood film industry.

Biased with bad narration.

I was expecting more. This is a biased reading of memos from Zanuck. It's hard to believe there are no controversial momo's or anything that showed his alleged tough and iron handed behavior.

When will authors quit reading their stuff. The narration sounded as if it was recorded in the 40's.
