If you love movie making, you’ll love this book.
Published by Frequent Buyer , 5 years ago
I’ll be honest I haven’t finished reading it, I’m about halfway through, but I love this book.
Vic’s stories are interesting, informative and best of all very funny.
It’s a who’s who of Hollywood of sorts.
The legendary directors, the star actors and the fellow stunt people who made movie history are what you’ll find in this book.
The respect for Vic and his profession are echoed throughout by all of his peers.
The only reason I’ve yet to finish it, is because I don’t want the journey to end too soon.
