I just read this book for a second time. It is interesting to get the producer's side in the making of films. It can sometimes be a frustrating job. The change has been great since the time of Hollywood moguls. We can get some snippets of old times in this book, but mainly it tells about the package type of producing. Feldman (with Tom Barton) is a great storyteller. One really has to laugh after reading his stories about directors and actors and various other people connected with films. The producer is going to have an ulcer if he or she does not have a good sense of huomor. It is difficult to get better books about making films - and I have read a lot of them.Product details

Tell Me How You Love the Picture A Hollywood Life eBook Edward S Feldman Tom Barton Reviews
This audio book surpassed my expectations! The life of Ed Feldman was wildly entertaining and Christian Hoff does an incredible job. I feel such an appreciation for the hard work of a producer and value each movie I watch that much more. I would like to thank Ed Feldman for allowing us to step into his life and enjoy his stories of some of our favorite actors. I couldn't of thought of anyone better to narrate than the brilliant Christian Hoff. How does he do that!John Wayne was my favorite.
I recommend this beautifully written story of Ed Feldman's life to everyone.
Ed Feldman's "Tell Me How You Love the Picture A Hollywood Life," written in collaboration with Tom Barton, is a fascinating, behind-the-scenes account of a Hollywood movie producer. Feldman, who started out in the movie business as a publicist for 20th Century Fox and worked his way up the ladder to produce big time, blockbuster hits, recounts in his book the tricky path that a movie producer frequently must walk between investors, studio executives, directors, actors and sometimes even puppy advocates in order to get his picture in the neighborhood cinemaplex. Readers, especially Hollywood movie fans, will enjoy the many humorous stories and delightful reminiscences about big named actors such as Elizabeth Taylor, Glenn Close, Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford and Eddie Murphy.
I've heard the book twice now. I obtained the CD set initially looking to hear Christian Hoff's Guinness world-record 241 voices, which are amazing, but I was treated to a wonderful story by publicist/producer Ed Feldman, with collaborators Tom Barton and Jimmy Merrill, as well.
The audiobook took me through the last half-century, concentrating as much on Bette Davis, John Wayne, Cary Grant and Barbra Streisand as on Harrison Ford, Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey, and Glenn Close--with wonderful backstories about Murphy in "The Golden Child" and Close in "101 Dalmations."
The stories were thrilling, so much so that I sat in my parked car not wanting to interrupt the wonderful story-telling of the antics on the set of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" or the casting challenge of Barbara Streisand in "Funny Girl." Christian Hoff brings Bette Davis and Joan Crawford back to life, and does a magnificent Streisand inflection.
And I also finally learned exactly what a producer does, as Ed (Christian) takes us through his own wonderful experience of producing Harrison Ford's and Kelly McGillis's "Witness", from having no major studio interest to 8 Academy Award nominations, including one for Ed himself.
I also finally learned what a "producer" actually does. Basically, he "fixes" problems and is the general manager of the film. One thing a producer doesn't do, though, is put his/her own money into a production! Funny, all these years, I've thought the producer was putting his/her monies at risk along with mine!!
But the best part of "Tell Me How You Love the Picture" is personal, describing how Ed met and married Lorraine, literally the girl next door in the Bronx as Ed was growing up, and how they've now been together for 53 years.
Great job, Ed, Tom and Jimmy. And absolutely marvelous story-telling and voice creation, Christian. These stories are a great and wonderful education in the movie industry over the past 50 years. Worth every penny.
Interesting, quick read. Humorous. Reads like the author is sitting down having a conversation with you. Good info for students.
Awsome! Could not put it down. Anyone who is a classic film buff will love this book. Christian Hoff is amazing to listen to!
This book is a hodgepodge of stories about the producer Ed Feldman. The stories themselves are very entertaining, however, the writing is terrible with lots of editing mistakes. The book is written in a jumbled, rambling format that is difficult to follow. It jumps around frequently and you are often left wondering 'what is going on, we were just talking about this'. My absolute peeve of the book is how often the author writes "we'll come back to that" when referring to a story he has yet to tell us. By the time the author comes back to it, if he in fact does, I have forgotten completely what it was in regards to. Overall, there is no organization to this book and it is sloppily written. Thankfully the anecdotes themselves are funny otherwise the book would have no redeeming qualities. There is no way this book deserves 5 stars.
I only purchased this book because it was a requirement for class but I really ended up enjoying it. The stories are funny and give some unique insight into how Hollywood is run and the personalities of many big celebrities.
