Review Quotes:
This is an important book that uses a holistic approach - drawing on primary source material, interviews and film analysis - to demonstrate why Lawrence Kasdan and his films should be taken seriously. Davies reinforces the importance of studying so-called non-auteur directors and writers, whose contributions to cinema are worthy of attention.
